Narrative:
An experimental Europa Aviation Europa crashed in Bebedouro, moments after takeoff from Aeroporto Comandante Luis Martins Araujo (SDBB), São Paulo.
Both occupants were killed and the aircraft was destroyed.

Contributing factors.
- Attitude – a contributor.
The actions taken denoted difficulties in the way of thinking, feeling, and reacting, which led to inadequate postures that contributed to the outcome of the occurrence in question.
- Handling of aircraft flight controls – a contributor.
Despite the aircraft’s loss of performance after takeoff, a slight turn to the right was made, with the aircraft maintaining a positive attitude until losing lift, a fact that resulted in loss of control in flight.
- Aircraft maintenance – undetermined.
Although a CVA, which would have certified the aircraft's airworthiness, had been completed approximately five weeks prior to the accident, the possibility was raised that the maintenance work had not been sufficient to guarantee safe operation of the aircraft, since there were repeated failures signaled by the FADEC system, in addition to the perception, on the part of the crew, of the failure affecting the aircraft flight controls.
- Decision-making process – a contributor.
There was a loss in the ability to analyze and choose alternatives that would have prevented the outcome of the incident, evidencing a faulty decision-making process.
