- Date: April 11, 1995
- Aircraft: Cessna 208A Caravan
- Location: Luziânia, Goiás, Brazil
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Instructor fatigue, too many trainees for one instructor, the co-pilot's low type experience, poor crew coordination and poor power management in the simulated failure recovery.
A Cessna 208A Caravan was on a local training flight from Luziania with an instructor and four trainee pilots aboard. The instructor pulled the power back to simulate an engine failure during repeated approaches, and the aircraft nosed down from about 300 feet and struck the ground short of the runway. All five occupants were uninjured but the aircraft was written off.
