Circumstances:
On final approach to Capahuari, the pilot lost visual contact with the ground due to a rain squall. Suddenly, the single engine aircraft struck the runway 36 surface and bounced. Out of control, it veered off runway to the left and came to rest in a ravine. Both occupants were slightly injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
