Circumstances:
After landing at Varginha-Major-Brigadeiro Trompowsky Airport, the aircraft deviated from the centerline to the right. The crew attempted to correct the deviation but the right main gear struck runway lights and was torn off on impact. Out of control, the aircraft made a 90° right turn then veered off runway and came to rest. Both pilots escaped uninjured.
