On April 10, 2018 at approximately 11:30 UTC, the Beechcraft 58, took off from the Horco Molle (TCM) airfield to perform a transfer flight to the private aerodrome Agro Service Yoris (GYT), in the locality of Governor Garmendia. Both aerodromes are located in the province of Tucumán. After takeoff, the aircraft established radio contact with the control tower. of the Tucumán airport and made the opening of the visual flight plan. The airport was in instrumental meteorological conditions (IMC) so the control tower of Tucumán requested confirmation that the N6926Z was located in visual weather conditions (VMC). After receiving an affirmative answer of N6926Z, the control tower instructed the aircraft to continue its flight. without affecting the control zone (CTR) at Tucumán airport. At approximately 11:40 the Tucumán airport control tower lost contact with the aircraft and search and rescue procedures were initiated. The aircraft involved in the accident was located by an aircraft that collaborated in the search, in an area with hills and mountains. The location of the remains of the N6926Z coincides with a point defined by the radial 030 and a distance of 14 nautical miles from the VOR/DME of Tucumán. The aircraft hit the western slope of a hill in the place known as El Naranjo. The pilot of the airplane and the three passengers died as consequence of the accident.
