Narrative:
A Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, operated by Two Táxi Aéreo, sustained substantial damage in a forced landing shortly after takeoff from Macapá Internacional Airport, Brazil.
The aircraft suffered a complete loss of engine power after takeoff, forcing the pilot to request priority landing back at Macapá Airport. The flight was cleared for landing on runway 08 but the aircraft lost altitude. An attempt was made to restart the engine, but this failed. A forced landing was carried out in a field to the west of the airport. The nose landing gear broke off and the right hand wing tip struck the ground, causing substantial damage.

Probable Cause:

Contributing factors.
- Aircraft Maintenance - a contributor.
The improper anchorage of the safety wire of the igniter cable, excessively pulled, that caused the deformation on the latch plate and left the fuel transfer tubes free to move, characterized a deficiency in the maintenance services performed on the aircraft engine and was a contributing factor for the occurrence.
- Managerial oversight - a contributor.
The non-identification of the improper anchorage of the safety wire of the igniter cable, excessively pulled, that caused the deformation on the latch plate and left the fuel transfer tubes free to move, indicated that the managerial supervision of maintenance activities was not adequate.
