What happened
On the morning of the accident, a twin-engine aircraft departed from Guatemala City-La Aurora Airport at 09:30 local time, bound for Rio Dulce. The flight was operated by a crew consisting of two pilots. While in flight, the crew communicated with Air Traffic Control to request a flight plan modification, which resulted in clearance to proceed directly toward Puerto Barrios.
Upon arriving at Puerto Barrios Airport, the crew performed several touch-and-go maneuvers. Following these maneuvers, the aircraft initiated a new approach and successfully landed on runway 12. During the subsequent takeoff attempt, the pilot-in-command applied increased engine power. During this phase of flight, the pilot lost control of the twin-engine aircraft. The plane struck a nearby road and came to rest in an inverted position. The impact caused the total destruction of the aircraft, and both two fatalities were recorded.
