Accident Description
The incident began shortly after takeoff from Salvador Airport. While the aircraft was climbing, a failure occurred in the right engine. The pilot-in-command opted to return to the airport for an emergency landing. As the aircraft executed the final turn, it stalled and then crashed a few hundred yards from the runway threshold.
Injuries and Damage
All six occupants were injured during the accident sequence. The aircraft sustained extensive damage and was destroyed.
Probable Cause
According to the official investigation, the precise reason for the right engine failure could not be determined. Nevertheless, the crew's reaction was deemed inappropriate because the propeller on the right engine was not feathered. This failure to feather the propeller resulted in increased drag, which was a factor in the subsequent stall.
