A Rockwell Sabreliner 60 jet was destroyed during descent and approach to Chihuahua Airport, Mexico, resulting in the deaths of all ten occupants. The aircraft was en route from Cuernavaca to Chihuahua with a stopover at Torre¢n. The descent and approach for runway 36R required passing the Delicias VOR, located 25 NM from the airport, at 10,000 feet, and intercepting the 178 radial before commencing the descent towards the airport. The airplane passed the VOR at 9,000 feet. It impacted a mountainside at 22,8 NM from the airport at an altitude of 7000 feet (2100 m) on the 180 radial of the VOR. The probable cause was a lack of application of approach and entry procedures to runway 36R, coupled with failure to maintain the minimum safety height indicated during the descent.A Rockwell Sabreliner 60 jet was destroyed during descent and approach to Chihuahua Airport, Mexico, resulting in the deaths of all ten occupants.
