From the Wikipedia article
The Senador Canedo Beechcraft B200 Super King Air crash was an air disaster that occurred on 14 January 2011, involving a business aircraft carrying six people. The airplane, belonging to CMN Construtora Meio Norte, of Tocantins, crashed during the approach phase to Goiânia Airport, resulting in the deaths of everyone on board.
The Accident
The aircraft, a Beechcraft B200 Super King Air twin-engine turboprop with registration PR-ART, took off from Palmas (TO), made a stopover in Brasília (DF) and was heading to Goiânia (GO).
The accident occurred at around 18:10 (local time), when the airplane collided with the top of Morro Santo Antônio (or Morro do Cristo), in Senador Canedo, in the Goiânia Metropolitan Region. The collision site was approximately 11 km short of the threshold of Runway 32 of Santa Genoveva Airport.
At that moment, the weather conditions were adverse, with heavy rain and a thunderstorm in the area. After the impact, the aircraft broke apart and there was an explosion, followed by a fire. The difficult access to the site and the fire hampered the work of the rescue teams of the Goiás Military Fire Brigade.
Investigation and cause
Investigation
The accident was investigated by the Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Center (CENIPA). The final report of the investigation was completed in 2014, with the occurrence classified as an accident (A).
The airplane was carrying out a VOR approach to runway 32 of Santa Genoveva Airport, in heavy rain. CENIPA concluded that the aircraft impacted the terrain (Morro Santo Antônio) below the minimum altitude established for the approach phase. The investigation found that the collision with the hill occurred at an altitude of 1,636 feet (500 metres), while the minimum altitude on the approach was 2,050 feet (625 metres). The probable cause was classified as Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT).
