- Date: April 21, 2016
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 300 Super King Air
- Location: Porto Seguro-Terravista Golf Club, Bahia, Brazil
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: CENIPA final report A 073/CENIPA/2016 (summary via BAAA and ASN): the pilot's decision to continue the landing rather than go around, without adequately weighing the risk of windshear, and control inputs during the approach contributed; weather was rated undetermined.
On 21 April 2016 a privately operated Beechcraft 300 Super King Air (PT MCM) flew from Rio de Janeiro to Porto Seguro with one pilot and nine passengers. On the final approach to runway 15 it descended too low, the left main gear struck the ground before the threshold and was torn off, and the aircraft slid and came to a halt. All ten occupants evacuated safely and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
