What happened
Shortly after departing from Campinas-Viracopos Airport, an aircraft entered a stall and collided with trees at an altitude of approximately 100 meters. The accident occurred less than two minutes following takeoff. The impact and subsequent fire destroyed the aircraft completely. There were 52 fatalities among the occupants of the plane.
Findings
Official investigations by the Argentine government identified that the flight was being conducted in weather conditions that necessitated Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), yet the crew failed to operate under these required procedures. Additionally, the aircraft did not follow the established climb procedure for its specific model. The investigation also noted a lack of supervision and vigilance by the pilot-in-command, particularly regarding the potential lack of proper briefing or oversight if the co-pilot was undergoing flight instruction at the time of the incident.
