- Date: April 13, 2020
- Aircraft: Comp Air CA-8
- Location: Campo Verde, Mato Grosso, Brazil
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Undetermined; the pilot may have met an unexpected situation he could not manage due to low experience
A Comp Air CA 8 climbing after takeoff from Campo Verde entered a high pitch angle, and the pilot made a sharp left turn before losing control. The aircraft dove into an open field about 900 metres from the takeoff point and burst into flames, killing the pilot, who was the only person on board. The exact cause could not be determined, but the pilot's relatively low experience was considered a possible factor.
