- Date: July 24, 2017
- Aircraft: Mitsubishi MU-2 Marquise
- Location: Buenos Aires-San Fernando, Buenos Aires City, Argentina
- Fatalities: 3
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: JIAAC: Loss of control in the climb, due to the aircraft characteristics, transponder workload, a rerouting at ATC request, autopilot off flying, and the pilot's limited instrument experience.
Shortly after takeoff from San Fernando, the MU 2 was asked by ATC about a transponder fault and the crew did not respond. The aircraft then entered an uncontrolled descent into a marshy area of the Parana Delta and disintegrated on impact. All three occupants were killed.
