What happened
On July 6, 2012, at 13:40 UTC, a Piper PA-31-350 (Embraer 820C), registered as PT-ENG, was conducting an aerial survey flight near Guanambi, Brazil. While flying at an altitude of approximately 330 feet above ground level, the aircraft experienced a significant mechanical failure.
Two hours into the mission, the right engine's performance decreased, leading to a total loss of power. Shortly after this event, the left engine also suffered a total loss of power. The crew attempted a forced landing into an area of dense vegetation, which resulted in the destruction of the aircraft.
The accident resulted in 1 fatality and 1 minor injury. One crewmember was not injured.
