Overview
- The collision occurred Wednesday near the Aeródromo Green in Guazuvirá during an afternoon aerobatic practice and left one aircraft crashed in wooded terrain.
- The deceased pilot was identified as 58‑year‑old Daniel Ubillos, a retired Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya pilot and founder of the Green aerodrome; his aircraft was a Rihn DR‑109, registration CX‑FLG.
- The other pilot, reported as 32 years old, carried out an emergency landing at the Aeroclub Green and was physically uninjured but treated for shock.
- Teams from the Junta Investigadora de Accidentes e Incidentes de Aviación Civil and the Uruguayan Air Force are conducting on‑scene examinations while the Fiscalía de Atlántida provides legal oversight, and no definitive cause has been determined.
- Investigators will rely on wreckage forensics, witness statements and flight reconstructions because small recreational planes often lack black‑box recorders, which can slow determination of how a reported brief contact led to the fatal outcome.
