The aircraft Petrel 912i, took off at 19:30 from Juan Domingo Perón International Airport (Neuquén), with the purpose of performing an instructive flight. The aircraft headed for the town of Villa El Chocón, where the instructor planned to demonstrate flight procedures and maneuvers to the student pilot, including an aborted approach procedure.
After this maneuver, during the climb, there was the loss of engine power, and the aircraft couldn't hold altitude. Therefore, the instructor made an emergency landing in an unprepared field, experiencing significant damage.
The accident occurred in daylight and in conditions of good visibility.
The loss of engine power probably occurred due to fuel vaporization in the engine supply line. The aircraft was fueled with automotive fuel, which had an ethanol percentage that exceeded the allowable limit for the engine.
