What happened
On the day of the accident, a twin engine aircraft departed from Bauru Airport with the intention of traveling to Sorocaba Airport. Shortly after the departure, the aircraft experienced significant issues while attempting to establish a positive rate of climb.
As the flight struggled to gain altitude, the aircraft began to lose height. The descent continued until the plane struck the ground approximately 5 km away from the Bauru airfield. There was one fatality resulting from the impact, as the pilot was the only person on board the aircraft at the time of the crash.
Findings
- The aircraft was unable to maintain sufficient altitude following takeoff.
- The accident occurred during the initial climb phase of the flight.
