Originally there were 2 aircraft equipped with the Elbit Air Keeper system, FAC-1261 and FAC-1262 but in 2015 FAC-1261 suffers a horrible accident near the border with Venezuela
Many theories emerged, even that the aircraft was shot down by the anti-aircraft systems of Venezuela that have an operational scope within Colombian territory.
The official version of the Colombian Air Force tells us that due to bad weather, the aircraft suffered a frosting in its wing planes, when the defrosting systems were activated they overheated and set on fire what caused a fire. The first officer refused to distribute the work with his co-pilot which caused him to have a lot of workload and led him to make bad decisions
It was speculated that the integration of a system like the Elbit AirKeeper could generate electrical problems in the aircraft however this was never confirmed.
