## Factual narrative

On March 6, 2013, about 1245 UTC, a Beech B200, OB-1992, registered to Dearborn and Flint Aviation Co, Inc., operated by Aero Transporte Sociedad Anonima ATSA, collided with a wire then terrain during visual approach to Aerodrome Pias (SPIS), La Libertad, Peru. Weather conditions are unknown in the area and time of the accident, and a visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan was filed for the foreign charter flight from Jorge Chavez International Airport (SPIM), Lima, Peru, to SPIS. The airplane was destroyed by impact and a postcrash fire and the pilot, co-pilot, and seven passengers were fatally injured. The flight originated from SPIM about 1130 UTC. After departure the flight proceeded to the destination airport and due to adverse weather, the flightcrew flew over the destination airport, but did not land.
