Few minutes before its arrival, while cruising in poor weather conditions, the aircraft hit the slope of Mt Cipó located about 50 km northeast of Belo Horizonte-Pampulha Airport. All 19 occupants were killed. Probable cause (official findings): At the time of the accident, the aircraft was off course by 48 km, most probably due to a navigation error on part of the flying crew. The lack of visibility caused by low clouds and poor weather conditions was considered as a contributory factor.
