Rockwell Grand Commander 690

Following an uneventful flight from the continent, the crew established initial contact with local ATC at 2324LT on approach to San Andrés-Sesquicentenario Airport. A minute later, while descending by night and poor weather conditions, the twin engine aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in the sea few km offshore. SAR operations were initiated but eventually suspended a week later as no trace of the aircraft nor the nine occupants was found.
