Circumstances:
The twin engine aircraft left Asunción Airport at 1750LT with two officers and two pilots on board. About thirty minutes into the flight, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with thunderstorm activity. The aircraft went out of control and crashed in an uninhabited area located near Quyquyhó. The pilot was killed and his body was found in the wreckage. However, no trace of the three other occupants was found. It is believed that they may have abandon the aircraft and bail out, but as their bodies were never found, they were considered as deceased.
