- Date: January 23, 1994
- Aircraft: Dinfia IA.50 Guaraní II
- Location: Paraná, Entre Ríos, Argentina
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew misjudged height on the approach to Santa Elena and the undercarriage struck iron pipes stored in tall grass short of the threshold.
A Dinfia IA.50 Guarani II on a positioning flight from Parana to Santa Elena lost its landing gear during the approach. After a go-around the gear would not retract, the flaps stuck and hydraulic pressure fell, so the crew returned to Parana. The gear collapsed on landing and the aircraft slid to a stop on its belly. Both pilots escaped unhurt.
