What happened
During an approach to the landing site at Lazo, an aircraft experienced a sudden loss of altitude and rolled to the right side. The incident occurred while the flight was on final approach. At the time of the crash, local weather conditions included winds originating from 150° at speeds between 11 and 21 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 32 km/h.
The aircraft's descent led to a collision with the ground. The status of the occupants following the impact has not been determined.
Findings
Investigations into the accident identified that the crew did not correctly evaluate the wind components during the approach phase. While the co-pilot was actively conducting the maneuver, the captain did not provide adequate supervision of the flight controls and procedures.
Key contributing factors included an incorrect approach configuration resulting from a failure to analyze environmental conditions. Additionally, investigators noted that elements of overconfidence and complacency among the crew played a role in the sequence of events leading to the crash.
