- Date: September 29, 1994
- Aircraft: Rockwell 1121 Jet Commander
- Location: Córdoba-Ambrosio Taravella (Pajas Blancas), Córdoba, Argentina
- Fatalities: 8
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The crew did not follow the pre-takeoff checklist and started the rotation too late. Early flap retraction and an overweight takeoff led to a stall.
