At 0054LT, the crew reported on approach to Brasília Airport at an altitude of 1,800 meters. He was instructed to report when inbound for runway 28 and was given the latest weather conditions. Initial approach was begun at 0056. At 0059 the flight reported it as on final approach. The tower gave it thelatest wind conditions, 330°, velocity 8-10 kt, and the aircraft was cleared to land. The message was acknowledged. Nothing further was heard from the flight. The tower controller saw a flash of light in the direction from which the aircraft was expected, however, he did not think anything abnormal had occurred. After a few unsuccessful calls, search and rescue services were alerted. The aircraft had struck trees and the ground 8,400 meters from the runway and continued over uneven ground for 300 meters. As the aircraft fell on its side, only the side exit facing upward would be used for evacuation. Because of the failure of normal lights and the fact that no flashlights were available, it was difficult to find the emergency exit. The captain was killed while the copilot was seriously injured.

Following a wrong approach configuration, the four engine aircraft christened 'Domingos Dias Prado' landed too far down the runway. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the airplane overran and eventually crashed into a ravine. All 59 occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Shortly after takeoff from Pampulha Airport, while climbing, the airplane banked left, lost height and crashed in flames. All 16 occupants were injured while the aircraft was destroyed. It was reported that the crew encountered technical problems with the left engine during startup at Caratinga Airport and Belo Horizonte as well. It is believed the problem was solved by crossfeeding the engines. Nevertheless, the crew took the decision to continue the flight despite engine technical issues due to poor maintenance.

On approach to Belo Horizonte-Pampulha Airport, the engine caught fire. The crew attempted an emergency landing when the aircraft crash landed, bursting into flames. The airplane was destroyed and both crew members were uninjured.
