What happened
A cargo flight operating from Itaituba-Mundico Coelho Airport ended in an accident following a landing attempt. The single-engine airplane was transporting a shipment of food supplies to Fazenda Vera Paz, a private landing strip situated approximately 360 km southwest of the departure point. The flight was operated by a single pilot.
Upon reaching the destination, the aircraft touched down on runway 32. Immediately following the landing, the pilot experienced a loss of control, causing the aircraft to veer toward the left side of the runway. The plane exited the paved surface and came to a stop in a nearby drainage ditch. The impact and subsequent movement triggered a fire that consumed the airframe. While the aircraft was destroyed by the flames, the pilot escaped without injury.
Findings
- The aircraft veered off the runway immediately after touchdown.
- The incident resulted in the total loss of the airframe due to fire.
