Accident Overview
A training flight operating out of Brasília Airport ended in a crash during a simulated emergency landing. The aircraft was conducting a local training mission with an instructor and a pilot under training on board.
Sequence of Events
On final approach, the instructor simulated an emergency landing with the right engine at reduced power. During this maneuver, the airplane stalled and struck the ground short of the runway threshold. The impact caused the aircraft to bounce. As the left engine failed to respond properly, the airplane stalled again and crashed.
Injuries and Damage
Both crew members sustained injuries. The aircraft was destroyed in the accident.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined the probable cause to be the failure of the pilot under training to use the propeller controls properly and incorrect supervision on the part of the instructor.
