Accident Summary
A single-engine airplane departed from Itaituba-Mundico Coelho Airport on a cargo flight with a load of foods, destined for Fazenda Vera Paz, a private airstrip located 360 kilometers southwest of Itaituba Airport. The aircraft carried one pilot onboard. After touchdown on runway 32, the pilot lost control of the airplane, which veered off the runway to the left and came to rest in a drainage ditch. The aircraft subsequently burst into flames. The pilot escaped uninjured, while the airplane was destroyed by the fire.
Probable Cause
According to the official investigation, the probable cause of the accident was loss of control on landing for unknown reasons. Investigators were unable to determine whether heavy rainfall in the region contributed to the loss of control on the ground. Additionally, the narrowing of the runway and the position of the drainage ditch became obstacles that prevented the aircraft from decelerating safely, culminating in the front landing gear colliding with the drainage ditch and the propeller impacting the ground.
