What happened
On December 28, 2019, an Embraer EMB-202A, registration PT-ANU, was performing an agricultural spraying mission near Guaíra, São Paulo. After departing from Aeródromo Usina Colorado (SDGB), the pilot executed a left turn to begin the application process. During the maneuver, the engine began to lose power.
In an attempt to restore power, the pilot activated the auxiliary electric pump and jettisoned the chemical payload. Despite switching the fuel selector from the right tank to the left tank, the engine failed to restart. The pilot subsequently performed an emergency landing in a sugarcane plantation, specifically targeting an area with younger crops situated under high-voltage power lines. The impact caused substantial damage to the aircraft, though the pilot remained uninjured.
