Three trainee co-pilots were to practice takeoff and landings at Buenos Aires/Ezeiza-Ministro Pistarini Airport. Their aircraft crashed in the Monte Grande neighbourhood following a no. 1 engine failure and burned out.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "Failures in engine no.1 which necessitated stopping the engine and feathering the propeller during evasive action at speed below V1, also collision with obstacles owing to imprudence of the pilot in carrying out a demonstration of a frustrated landing on a runway which was unsuitable for the type of aircraft used."
