The pilot, accompanied by a passenger, took off from the "La Barrancosa estate near Rufino, Santa Fe province, with the destination of Don Torcuato Airport.
The flight proceeded normally until the pilot contacted Mariano Moreno Tower, whose operator informed them that Don Torcuato Airport was below the visual meteorological conditions. As a result, the pilot requested permission to land at Mariano Moreno Airport.
When the aircraft was about 6 NM from the Moreno VOR, the pilot declared an emergency due to both engines' failure.
During the final approach segment, the left wing of the aircraft collided with a post of the perimeter fence surrounding the chosen field for landing. The aircraft rotated to the left and made contact with the ground, coming to a stop about 40 m from the point of impact. The landing occurred on a plowed field with the landing gear and flaps retracted.
The accident occurred during daylight with natural light, and the weather conditions had an influence on the accident.
