Circumstances:
The crew was conducting a training mission at Lagoa Santa AFB, consisting of touch-and-go maneuvers. During the takeoff roll, the pilot-in-command pulled on the control column to initiate the rotation but the aircraft did not respond. It went out of control, veered off runway to the right, struck an embankment, lost its undercarriage and slid for few dozen metres before coming to rest in a grassy area. All three occupants escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause:
It is believed that the accident was a consequence of a wrong takeoff configuration as the crew did not set the flaps properly.

Probable cause:
Double engine failure caused by a fuel exhaustion. It was determined that the crew did not prepare the flight according to procedures and took off with an insufficient fuel quantity on board.

While descending to Guaratinguetá Airport, the crew was informed by ATC about poor weather conditions at destination and was instructed to divert to São José dos Campos Airport. The crew initiated a go-around procedure but failed to follow the published go-around procedure and initiated a turn to the wrong direction when the aircraft struck the slope of Mt Alto Cerco (1,500 metres high) located about 30 km north of Guaratinguetá Airport. The aircraft was destroyed and all four occupants were killed.
Probable cause:
Controlled flight into terrain after the crew failed to follow the published procedures and initiated a turn to the wrong direction for unknown reasons. The lack of visibility due to mist was considered as a contributing factor.
