Crashed into a residential area shortly after takeoff from Santiago/La Reina-Eulogio Sánchez Airport (SCTB), also known as Tobalaba Airport.
MOST LIKELY CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT
The most likely cause of the accident was engine shutdown due to lack of fuel supply from the tanks.
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS
The following factors would have contributed to this:
Changing the pond selector, leaving it badly positioned.
Changing the tank during the final stage of the flight, very close to the ground and with little room for manoeuvre to deal with the emergency and apply effective corrective action (reconnect and start the engine).
Do not visually check the position of the fuel selector when changing the tank.
