The aircraft, a single-engine EMB-201 Ipanema, took off from the company's operating runway, located in the Palotina region, Paraná state, for a local spraying flight at the Seleme Farm, approximately 4 km from the takeoff site.
The briefing was conducted via radio with the Agricultural Technician, who informed the pilot of the obstacles in the area to be flown.
The first pass (spraying) was made in a west-to-east direction, and the second, in the opposite direction.
During the second pass, the pilot exceeded the limits marked by the flags, causing the aircraft to collide with a power line and then with the tops of some trees, shortly after crashing into the ground.
The aircraft was rendered irreparable, and the pilot died at the scene.
