Narrative:The aircraft took off from runway 15 of the International Airport of Ilopango, El Salvador at 10:00 (16:00 UTC) towards Barillas Airport.
Barillas AirportSince Barillas Airport is an uncontrolled airfield, the pilot made a low pass over the runway to make sure it was free of any obstacles, maintaining a safe altitude, made a 360° overflight over the runway and then configured reduced power for landing and put a quarter of flaps/;
At the time of landing the pilot experienced that the plane became uncontrollable and began to skid to the left side, impacting with the runway fence.
Probable causes.
Destabilized approach on the runway.
Contributing Factors
Among some of the contributing factors that possibly affected the aircraft's landing on the runway were the following:
-The left turn was too tight over the runway threshold.
-The flap configuration was not adequate, according to the POH (Piper Aztec Owner's Handbook).
-Incorrect handling of the aircraft's aerodynamic speeds by the pilot, entering the runway with too much speed.
-The grass runway produced instability.
-The omission of the procedures established in POH (Piper Aztec Owner's Handbook), section III, page 34, on Approach and Landing.
-Overconfidence in flight procedures on the part of the pilot is a contributing factor.
