Causes:
This Directorate General for the Prevention and Investigation of Air Accidents, analyzed the primary factors involved in causing an accident and aviation incident as they are: Human Factor, Material Factor and Physical Factor, and taking into account the characteristics of the accident and the evidence gathered in the course of the investigation, it considers that the Causal Factor of
this accident was the Material Factor and the Contributing Factor was the Human Factor, due to the following:
- It was evidenced that the link that connects the pilot valve with the cyclic system control tube was disconnected without the connection bolt, therefore it was uncoupled in flight releasing the action of the cyclic lever on the pilot valve, which would produce a failure in the operation of the system that coincides with the pilot's report in the loss of the cyclic control.
- Lack of maintenance supervision at the end of inspection phase C "Cyclic Flight Control Actuators" which contributed to the mismatch in the aircraft's cyclic system.
