Shortly after takeoff from Temuco-La Araucanía Airport, the pilot encountered with an unexpected situation and lost control of the airplane that crashed in an agricultural zone located south of the airport, bursting into flames. All four occupants were rescued, only the pilot suffered injuries. The airplane was destroyed by a post crash fire.

After landing on runway 09 at Ubatuba Airport, the pilot started the braking procedure but the airplane was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran, crossed a road, hit several obstacles, caught fire and crashed upside down on the beach, bursting into flames. The pilot was killed while all four passengers, two adults and two children, were injured. At least three other people were also injured on the road. Runway 09 is 940 metres long with a displaced threshold of 380 metres, offering a landing distance available of 560 metres, which is obviously insufficient. Above that, the runway surface was wet because of rain, which remains a contributing factor.
