Incident Overview

Description
During the descent for landing in Tucum?, Brazil, there was a loss of engine power associated with high temperature (TIT) and vibration. The crew performed the “Emergency Power Lever” procedure, trying to provide power to reach the runway, but the engine continued to idle. Due to the low height of the aircraft, a forced landing was attempted. The aircraft suffered serious but all four occupants were unharmed. Contributing factors a. Human Factor There is no evidence of this factor contributing to the occurrence of the accident. b . Material Factor There is no evidence of this factor contributing to the occurrence of the accident. c. Operational Factor (1) Poor education: Contributed There was a deficiency in the instruction received, since the crew did not perform emergency training on that type of aircraft, resulting in inadequate preparation for the engine failure situation, especially at low altitude. (2) Poor Maintenance: Undetermined There are indications that the maintenance services were inadequate and contributed to the occurrence of engine failure, due to the possible occurrence of compressor stall. (3) Poor Supervision: Contributed The company performed inadequate technical and operational oversight for not providing emergency situations for the crews of that type of aircraft involved in the accident.
