What happened
During a departure from runway 35 at Saltillo-Plan de Guadalupe Airport, the aircraft was in its climbing phase at approximately 800 feet when the crew identified a malfunction. The right engine experienced a loss of power accompanied by significant vibrations.
In response to the technical failure, the crew initiated an emergency descent to lower their altitude. During the attempt to perform an emergency landing, the aircraft struck a patch of bushes located roughly 4.5 km northwest of the airport. The impact resulted in the aircraft coming to a complete stop in the vegetation.
Findings
- The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair during the impact.
- There were zero fatalities and zero injuries reported among the two pilots on board.
- The primary factor in the accident was the loss of power and vibration in the right engine.
