A Cessna 182N Skylane crashed in the Colombian jungle in Piracuara, Vaupés. All four occupants died in the crash.
Probable Causes
Collision of the aircraft with the ground.
Although the investigation could not determine with certainty the cause that led to this collision, the following possible hypotheses are put forward as the most probable causes:
- Loss of in-flight control, or controlled flight into terrain, due to the inability of the aircraft to climb safely after takeoff and which prevented it from negotiating obstacles located in the trajectory, as a result of using insufficient runway length for takeoff.
- Powerplant failure, which forced the Pilot to attempt an emergency landing (tree landing) in a jungle area, which ended in the impact of the left plane with a tree, loss of control and impact with the terrain.
Contributing Factors
- Deficient risk analysis of the operator and crew for operating on a limited runway, in heavy conditions and with obstacles around.
- Deficient runway conditions, without signage, with high obstacles in its extension and with an uneven surface, which induced the pilot to perform a displaced takeoff, with only 540 m of runway available, insufficient to perform a safe takeoff.
