What happened
A cargo transport operation traveling from Bogotá to Barranquilla ended in a disaster shortly after departure. The aircraft, which was transporting various commodities including a vehicle and meat products, entered its initial climb phase immediately following takeoff. During this ascent, the internal load shifted within the hold, causing the plane to pitch upward abruptly.
This sudden change in attitude resulted in an excessive angle of attack, leading the aircraft to enter a stall. The subsequent impact occurred within a residential neighborhood located near the airport. The accident resulted in seven fatalities, including all five occupants on board and two individuals residing on the ground. Additionally, the crash caused injuries to eleven people on the ground.
Findings
Investigations into the accident determined that the primary reason for the loss of control was that the cargo was not properly secured within the cargo compartment.
