Narrative:
The aircraft took off from Tucumán aerodrome with the purpose of conducting a parachutist jump. When the parachutist exited the cabin at an altitude of about 500 meters, there was a premature opening of the parachute, which became entangled in the tail of the plane, causing it to assume a very nose-up position due to the weight hanging from the tail. Eventually, the parachute became detached, probably when the plane turned more than 90° to the right along its longitudinal axis, subsequently entering a high-speed spiral that the pilot could not control. The aircraft collided violently with the ground, resulting in 90% destruction and the death of the pilot. On the other hand, the parachutist managed to descend normally.

The weather conditions had no influence on this accident.
