𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗔𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟱 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Buenos Aires to Mar del Plata, operated by a Curtiss C-46 Commando (Reg. LV-GED) on 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟭𝟲, 𝟭𝟵𝟱𝟵.
Departure for Mar del Plata was delayed by 35 minutes due to bad weather there. The plane finally took off from Buenos Aires at 19:50 for the IFR flight to Mar del Plata. Arriving near Mar del Plata, the flight was cleared for a runway 12 approach and landing. The plane arrived over the runway threshold at 85 meters and attempted to land. The C-46 overshot without even touching the runway, and a missed approach procedure was carried out. At 1,200 meters offshore the plane descended gradually into the sea.
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲:
"The pilot failed during a missed approach procedure to observe the instrument flight procedure and attempted to continue visual flight by night in unfavourable weather conditions. The aircraft then lost altitude and descended into the sea.
Contributing factors were: 1) As the pilot was not familiar with the airport in this type of operation, he miscalculated during the instrument approach procedure; 2) The pilot's temporarily confused mental state, when he found himself in this critical situation, affectected his capabilty and skill; 3) The radio beacon was out of service and the lighting was poor because of the weather conditions at the time of the approach; 4) Unsatifactory dispatching of the aircraft by the operator."
