The aircraft took off from the ag airstrip of Fazenda Letícia in the municipality of Mineiros, GO, in order to perform an agricultural flight. During the repositioning turn, there was a loss of control and collision with the ground in the nearby vegetation.
The pilot died at the scene of the accident.
Contributing factors.
- Alcohol – a contributor.
The level of ethanol identified in the pilot's blood sample was 12.8 dg/L, which, according to a report from the Scientific Police of the State of Goiás, causes evident effects of reflex slowdown and deterioration of control over voluntary movements.
- Handling of aircraft flight controls – undetermined.
The hypothesis of a loss of control of the aircraft during the repositioning turn may have been caused by inadequacy in the use of the flight controls.
