On October 22, 2000, about 2030 Universal Time Coordinated, a Piper PA-34, Argentine registration LV-VFB, and a Piper PA-28-181, Argentina registration LV-AMF, collided in midair near Chacabuco, Argentina, while on personal flights. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plans were filed for either flight. Both aircraft were destroyed and the private-rated pilot and five passengers on LV-VFB, and the commercial-rated pilot and four passengers on LV-AMF were fatally injured. The flights had originated from Chacabuco, Argentina, a few minutes before the accident.
The flights were for the purpose of giving airplane rides during a festival, and while maneuvering, the two aircraft collided.
Probable Cause
In an air festival, during a baptismal flight, collision of two aircraft in the air with subsequent precipitation to the ground, because the pilots did not keep the necessary attention to the existing traffic during the manoeuvres carried out, as indicated by the rules for VFR flight.
Contributing Factors
1. Possibility of dazzling the pilot of one of the aircraft, because it is facing the position of the sun, near the sunset.
2. Activity without a correct organization and control that allowed the flight of one of the aircrafts without the information given by the Authority in charge of the coordination during the Festival.
3. Lack of ground/air communication
4. Lack of an adequate operational plan for the implementation of the air festival.
