Narrative:
The aircraft took off from Miragem Farm Airfield (SDTW), municipality of Sapezal, MT, to Caputi Airfield (SD9A), municipality of Vilhena, RO, at around 17:30 UTC, in order to perform a transfer flight, with only the pilot on board. The pilot made an emergency landing in a wooded area, about 240m from the runway. There was no fire. The pilot was unhurt. The aircraft had substantial damage.

Contributing factors.
- Adverse meteorological conditions – a contributor.
Degrading weather conditions forced the PIC to lower the flight level in order to maintain VMC, resulting in greater fuel consumption.
- Organizational culture – a contributor.
Informal practices were evidenced in the company. The informality of the procedures contributed to the lack of perception of latent failures, and increased the demands on the PIC. Therefore, the lack of adequate planning and the resulting risks could have been minimized by formal application of procedures and control.
- Flight planning – a contributor.
The flight planning procedures were inappropriate, as they allowed the aircraft to be supplied with less fuel than the prescribed amount, that is, without fuel to fly for another 30 minutes beyond the planned flight segment
