A Quest Kodiak 100 on a transfer flight from Lucas do Rio Verde to Anapolis landed on an unapproved runway in Goias Velho to check conflicting fuel readings. After takeoff from that strip the engine lost power at about 300 ft and the aircraft hit vegetation and burned. The pilot was seriously injured and the three passengers suffered minor injuries.
