Incident Overview
Approximately one hour after departing from Manaus-Ponta Pelada Airport, the captain notified air traffic control that the primary hydraulic system had failed. Despite this, the flight continued and the crew was able to complete a normal landing at Belém-Val de Cans Airport.
Loss of Control
Following touchdown, when the reverse thrust systems were activated, the crew lost directional control of the aircraft. The airplane veered to the right, departing the runway surface. Upon contacting soft ground, the undercarriage were sheared off, and the aircraft came to rest in a ravine.
Outcome
The aircraft sustained damage beyond economical repair. There were no injuries among the occupants.
Official Probable Cause
The primary hydraulic system failed in flight, causing a major hydraulic leak. Upon landing, the reverse thrust and braking systems were partially inoperative.
