Aviacsa flight 100, a Fairchild F-27J, crashed on final approach to Tuxtla Gutiérrez Airport in Mexico. Sixteen of the 40 occupants survived the accident.
The aircraft took off from Tapachula at 08:10 hours. The flight proceeded normally and the first officer, who was the Pilot Flying, positioned the aircraft for an approach to runway 35. While fully configured for landing, the flight crew aborted the approach and performed a steep left-hand turn. The aircraft lost altitude and impacted the ground.
The accident was attributed to a lack of co-ordination between the crew during the approach and their lack of experience on the type.
Probable Cause:
CAUSA PROBABLE: "Entrada en perdida de sustentacion (desplome), durante una maniobra de viraje ceñido y no mantener la velocidad minima de sustentacion de la aeronave, estando a poca altura y en configuracion de aterrizaje (aletas de ala y tren de aterrizaje extendidos), sin aplicar la potencia requerida."
