What happened
During the final approach phase of flight into Araraquara Airport, a twin engine aircraft encountered a critical loss of altitude. While descending toward the runway, the aircraft descended below the safe glide path and made contact with overhead power cables.
This impact caused the aircraft to crash at a location short of the runway threshold. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. Regarding the occupants, the pilot sustained one injury during the accident sequence.
Findings
- The aircraft was operating at an altitude that was too low for the approach phase.
- Contact with electrical power lines served as the primary catalyst for the crash.
