Beechcraft King Air F90 aircraft | Simple Flying

A Beechcraft King Air F90 aircraft crash-landed on a busy street in São Paulo, Brazil, early Friday morning. The plane had taken off from Campo de Marte Airport and shortly after takeoff, the pilot reported technical failures. The attempt to return to the airport was unsuccessful as the aircraft lost altitude and crashed on Avenida Marquês de São Vicente.

The incident resulted in the deaths of both pilots onboard and injuries to several individuals on the ground. Among those injured were a motorcyclist and a bus driver, who managed to escape with injuries as there were no passengers on the bus at the time of impact.

Flightradar24 noted that the aircraft departed around 07:15 local time. Registered as PS-FEM, it encountered issues soon after takeoff, prompting communication with air traffic control about an attempted return to Campo de Marte Airport.

Witnesses told mix vale that before crashing into multiple vehicles including a bus, the aircraft hit a tree which led to a small explosion setting fire to the bus. First responders extinguished the fire promptly.

Several Brazilian agencies have initiated investigations into this accident. These include the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents (CENIPA), and National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC).

The Beechcraft King Air F90 involved was registered under MAXIMA INTELIGENCIA OPERACOES ESTRUTURADAS E EMPREENDIMENTOS LTDA since November 2024. Originally built in 1981 with serial number LA-105, this model is part of a series known for its popularity in general aviation.

Beechcraft has produced over 3,000 King Airs globally; however, only about 200 units of this specific F90 variant exist. This variant features larger wings than earlier models and incorporates a T-tail empennage design introduced initially in September 1964.

Global Air lists key specifications for this model: it can carry nine passengers with dimensions measuring approximately 39 feet eight inches long by 45 feet nine inches wide wing spanwise; maximum takeoff weight stands at 10,950 pounds while cruising speeds reach up to252 knots covering ranges near1330 nautical miles or1530 statute miles reaching altitudes topping31 thousand feet above sea level .
