The Cessna 210 Centurion took off at around 09:45 local time with two pilots and four students from a technical school in a training flight.
The PIC was Carabineros (Police) Capt. Luciano Castro (35), while his co-pilot was on his last flight before being allowed to fly as PIC with passengers.
After about 5 minutes, the aircraft showed engine problems, and the pilot tried unsuccessfully to turn back to the airfield, falling to the ground in a small sport field killing 5 persons in the field, and the 6 occupants of the plane. Almost 5 persons in the field got seriously injured after the aircraft burst in flames. On the ground there were three elder women, a 22-year old woman and her 4-year old daughter killed, all were attending gym class.
No emergency was declared, apparently due to lack of time to do so.
The weather at the time was good, clear and sunny.
Most likely cause
The most likely cause of the accident would be the lack of available resources (speed and height) for the crew to cope with a critical flight condition, in the event of a magnet failure during the initial phase of ascent, with the consequent loss of power. The crew maintained the ascent attitude in order to maintain separation with the terrain, slowing the aircraft and initiating a left turn, apparently to return to the runway, continuing to slow down until losing lift and consequently control of the aircraft. The turn could be explained by considering the recommendations in the flight manual for that type of failure.
