The aircraft took off from an airstrip in the vicinity of Serranópolis, GO, at around 10:00 UTC, in order to apply pesticides in a sugarcane plantation.
After approximately 20 minutes of flight, the aircraft engine failed. The pilot made a forced landing in a wooded area.
The aircraft had substantial damage and the crew member suffered minor injuries.
