After a flight involving local traffic, the pilot, who was carrying one passenger, allowed two more passengers to board for a local flight.
The aircraft used the entire runway during takeoff and, after leaving the ground, maintained a very steep attitude.
Approximately 1,500 meters later, the aircraft made a left turn, lost lift, and collided with the tip of its left wing into medium-sized vegetation, located on the crest of a hill. After this impact, the aircraft crashed into the ground, subsequently catching fire, and resulting in a total loss.
Two passengers suffered injuries (one serious and one minor), and one died at the scene, along with the pilot, who owned the aircraft.
