At 19:41 hours, Cessna A150L Aerobat LV-LFD took off from Gálvez Airfield, Santa Fe, towards Esperanza Airfield, to perform a local general aviation flight at that aerodrome, and subsequently return to the place of departure, in order to make a navigation flight with rules of visual flight. Given the probability of landing in night flight conditions, the pilot asked the staff of Gálvez Air Club to leave the beacon on.
The local flight in Esperanza was delayed and, consequently, the return flight to Gálvez Airfield started during the twilight, late afternoon, and the navigation that began as a day flight, ended as a night flight. Once in flight, the pilot modified the navigation and tried to return to Esperanza airfield.
Witnesses from the towns of San Carlos and Pujato observed an aircraft flying low, with headlights on and generally heading north. For their part, the members of the Galvez air club, seeing that the aircraft was not returning, tried communicate with the pilot, no results. For this reason, they alerted the authorities to begin the search for the aircraft.
The Argentine Mission Control Center (ARMCC) did not receive the activation signal from the Emergency Location Transmitter (ELT). The next day, the aircraft was found in the foliage of a tree, 2.6 km northwest of Esperanza airfield.
There were no survivors and the aircraft was completely destroyed. According to the evidence found, it is estimated that the event occurred at 20:40.
