The aircraft took off from a country road that provides access to the city of Altair (SP), with the aim of performing a panoramic flight, carrying 7 passengers on board. During the final approach to land on the road, the aircraft passed between high-voltage transmission lines and steel cables used as lightning rods. At this moment, the vertical stabilizer collided with the steel cables, causing part of the stabilizer to separate from the aircraft structure. The aircraft entered a left turn and continued flying for approximately 7 km, when, after its left wing hit a tree, it suffered a strong impact with the ground. The pilot and all passengers died at the scene of the accident and the aircraft was irreparable.
