What happened
During an ascent following departure from Sena Madureira Airport, the aircraft experienced a loss of power. In response to the engine failure, the pilot declared an emergency and initiated an attempt to return to the airfield.
While performing a low-altitude circuit, the aircraft entered a right-hand turn. During this maneuver, the plane collided with trees in a heavily forested region situated a short distance from the airport. The impact resulted in a post-crash fire that consumed the airframe. There were 32 fatalities among the occupants, with no survivors reported.
Findings
The investigation determined that the primary factor leading to the accident was the failure of the engine during the early stages of the climb.
