A Cessna 402B charter with a pilot and nine passengers took off from Acandi on 17 November 2015 and stalled in the initial climb. It fell onto a house in the Miramar district near the airport, killing the pilot and one passenger and injuring eight other occupants. Aerocivil attributed the loss of control to loading above maximum takeoff weight with the center of gravity outside limits and poor flight planning.
