Beechcraft 350 Super King Air

The twin engine aircraft departed São Paulo-Congonhas Airport at 1831LT on a private flight to Porto Seguro, carrying 12 passengers and two pilots, among them the Brazilian Businessman Roger Wright, his wife, children and grandchildren. On approach to Porto Seguro-Terravista Golf Club Airport, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and the visibility was low due to the night. On final approach to runway 15, the aircraft impacted trees located 900 metres from the runway threshold. The aircraft continued for about 700 metres then struck others trees and crashed 200 metres short of runway, bursting into flames. The aircraft was totally destroyed and all 14 occupants were killed.
