Circumstances:
The crew landed in the first portion of this short runway located in a hilly terrain near Punta Chilota. The aircraft was unable to stop properly, overran and came to rest. While both crew members Arturo Prado Orozco (captain) and Antonio Dagnino (copilot) were unhurt, the airplane christened 'Inés de Suarez' was damaged beyond repair. It was later transferred by boat to Punta Arenas and then to Valparaiso but was never repaired. The accident occurred in January 1947 (exact date remains unknown).
