- Date: November 10, 2015
- Aircraft: Cessna 650 Citation VII
- Location: Guarda-Mor, Minas Gerais, Brazil
- Fatalities: 4
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: Possible pitch trim runaway with crew control skills and attitude undetermined
A Cessna 650 Citation VII operated for Banco Bradesco left Brasilia for Sao Paulo and, about thirty minutes after takeoff near FL370, the horizontal stabilizer was heard moving on the cockpit voice recorder. The aircraft then descended at high speed and high rate of descent until it hit the ground near Guarda Mor, killing both crew and both passengers. Investigators noted that the crew possibly did not use the secondary pitch trim system after the inadvertent stabilizer movement.
