A Cessna 208 Caravan I (Blackhawk 850hp PWC PT6A-42A conversion), operated by Aeronáutica Civil de Columbia, veered off the runway on landing at fBahia Cupica Airfield, Chocó, and came to rest in several trees.
The aircraft was scheduled to transport a technical commission on aerodromes, as part of the Airports for Essential Air Services program (ASAES), from Rionegro-José María Córdoba Airport (SKRG) to the hamlet of Cupica (SKCP), Chocó.
The flight commenced in Rionegro at 09:04 LT. Approximately 50 minutes later, as the aircraft neared Cupica, the crew performed two flyovers of the landing strip at 1200 ft AGL to assess the condition of the field. They then proceeded to execute the traffic pattern and approached the final leg to land on runway 25, at 80 KIAS.
The aircraft landed in a controlled manner. However, during the landing roll, the aircraft collided with the high vegetation covering the runway margins and safety area, causing it to veer off course to the point where the aircraft exited the runway on the right side, coming to a stop among the adjacent undergrowth.
The crew shut down the engine, secured the aircraft, and all four occupants exited the aircraft on their own, unharmed. The aircraft sustained significant damage.
