The aircraft was involved in a demo flight to the Brazilian Air Force. In unknown circumstances, it went out of control and crashed into the Bay of Guanabara about 10 km off the Rio de Janeiro-Galeão Airport. Six occupants were rescued while a passenger was killed. The aircraft sank and was lost.

The crew was performing a topographic mission between Rio de Janeiro and Caravelas on behalf of the Photogrammetry Services. En route, an engine failed, forcing the crew to attempt an emergency landing in Itabira. All six occupants were rescued 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.

Crashed on takeoff for unknown reason, killing one of the three crew members.

On approach to Marabá, both engines failed. The crew elected to make an emergency landing when the seaplane crashed into the Río Tocantins. A crewman was killed while four other occupants were killed.

Shortly after takeoff from Rio Branco Airport, the twin engine aircraft stalled and crashed on the bank of the Río Acre. Four crew members were killed while 22 other occupants were evacuated.

Shortly after takeoff from Parnaíba Airport, an engine failed. The aircraft crashed near the airport and was destroyed. Both occupants were injured.

While landing on the Amazone River off Parintins, the seaplane hit a submerged object, came to a halt and partially sank. Nine occupants were rescued while three others were killed, among them the pilot Luís Anet and the radio operator.

Shortly after takeoff from Rio de Janeiro-Galeão Airport, enroute to Santa Cruz AFB, the crew encountered technical problems with the undercarriage that were raised but could not be lowered again. In such conditions, the captain decided to return to Galeão Airport for a safe landing. The aircraft belly landed and skidded for dozen yards before coming to rest on the runway. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The aircraft took off at 0657LT from Belém Airport, carrying 4 crew and 2 passengers, and had climbed to approximately 100 to 250 metres when the pilot noted signs of malfunctioning in the left engine. A violent stall and loss of power in this engine followed although the propeller continued to revolve. No emergency message was sent and the pilot did not press the feathering control. However, the rest of the emergency procedure appears to have been carried out or to have been in progress at the time of the crash. The hydraulic pump was off and this had the effect of stopping the retraction of the undercarriage half-way. The aerodynamic resistance of the semi-retracted undercarriage prevented the aircraft from maintaining altitude, carrying it down to 20 or 30 metres above the tree tops, possibly without this being noticed. There is reason to believe that the pilot was in the act of switching the fuel selector from one tank to the other when the left wing tip hit a tree breaking off 2.5 metres of the wing and half the aileron. The aircraft swerved 20 degrees to the left and nosed-up violently, The right engine at this time was on full power. The aircraft stalled and hit the ground 200 metres farther on. Explosion of the fuel tanks and fire followed. All six occupants were killed.
