It was on September 19, 2001 at the Military Aviation School (EAM) during the maiden flight ceremony of first-year cadets, among which were the first nine female cadets.
Three aircraft were conducting a low pass over the airfield facilities when the pound left EAM hit the control tower and the ground first then about a hundred meters from the first impact.
died the Head of Studies of the Cadet Corps, Vice Commander Ernest Cooke and the cadet Berástegui Carlos Diaz, 19, a native of Buenos Aires.
The other two Mentor were piloted, one by the Spiritoso Vicecomodro Wauthier, Chief Air Group accidental and Cadet Rodrigo Alisio Thomas and the other by the Director of the Miguel AgustÃn Brigadier EAM and Polo Cadet Maria Jimena.
9 years later Justice established the responsibilities required.
On the conduct of Brigadier Miguez, the owner of the Federal Oral Court No. 2, Carlos Julio Lascano ruled: "He made a highly risky to command as' driver guide "a band composed of three B-45 Mentor aircraft in a formation 'blind'. Such risks were tolerable to the extent legally who served the primary role of the squadron took over the technical functions to meet specific regulations and provide for certain circumstances of great importance in the exhibition, including flight path and the layout of the route so that would prevent dangerous maneuvers or approaches the proximity of obstacles (trees, buildings and facilities), in order to protect lives and protect government property and third parties. "
"Without however, the defendant created a high risk Miguez legally wrong in relation to the property affected in violation of the duty of care emerging from the infringement of a series of rules and regulations, "said the maid.
The documentary evidence and all evidence of military personnel showed that Miguez violated all the rules. Not complied with the rules of the Operation Manual Training Squadron Air Group School, Primary Flight Manual B-45 Mentor and Flight Rules. Miguez had no entitlement to drive a B-45 Mentor, was not properly trained, failed to fulfill the duty of every driver to be informed; reported no new developments relating to the launch site, the route to be followed, landing site and the various alternatives. In addition, failed to make the flight plan, did not conduct pre-flight meeting and violated the prohibition of transporting people on flights of training, have led to first-year cadets.
was found that after the first passage of the squadron, Miguez, as a training guide, "decided and determined the conduct of a flight at low altitude, contrary to explicit provisions for this type of training buildings, vehicles too close to obstacles, passing to the squad in the small space of 150 meters between a pine tree located on the site and the control tower. "
Lascano concluded that "the pilot guide that sets the direction and height of the air group and the other pilots that make up the squad should look at first and maintained a slightly higher above it, in training. For security reason, the training 'blind' numerals are kept on the plane guide. The absence of a flight plan, whose formation was incumbent necessarily the guide, was decisive for the unfortunate outcome, since the incorrect assessment of the defendant on the convergent course of training with the control tower and the low height above the obstacles, was crucial because if the squad had gone to greater height, the distance between the numeral three and guide the plane had lacked relevance and would have avoided the collision. "
The Bigadier (now retired) Miguez was sentenced to three years suspended sentence and disqualified for driving aircraft for five years as senior author of manslaughter caused by recklessness, two events in real competition.
