Brazil Questions Experimental Fleet After CA-9 Crash
The all-composite CA-9, tail number PR-ZRA, was registered as experimental, as are some 6,400 of Brazil's 18,400 general aviation aircraft.

A Comp Air CA-9 turboprop single crashed into a townhouse moments after takeoff from São Paulo Campo de Marte Saturday afternoon, killing the pilot and mining magnate Roger Agnelli and six members of his family. One person on the ground was also injured. Agnelli was formerly president of Vale, Brazil's largest private company.
