A Britten-Norman BN-2B-27 Islander crashed in a vegetated area near Yerbabuena, Chía, Cundinamarca, when attempting a forced landing.
The aircraft had taken off from Guaymaral Airport (SKGY) a few minutes before the accident.
The four occupants received minor injuries and the aircraft was written off.
At 03:02 LT, the aircraft took off from runway 11 at Guaymaral Airport (SKGY) and headed for La Macarena (SKNA).
After takeoff, a left turn was made to continue with a visual departure; as they crossed through 9,500 feet altitude, the crew experienced a sudden change in the aircraft's attitude, followed by the activation of the stall warning alarm. In response to this situation, the captain applied power to the engines and instructed the First Officer to immediately deploy the flaps.
The aircraft lost altitude and collided with mountainous terrain in the Yerbabuena sector, located in the municipality of Chía – Cundinamarca, near a rural residential complex. As a result of the collision with the terrain, the occupants sustained serious injuries.
