What happened
During the departure phase from runway 34 at São Paulo-Congonhas Airport, an aircraft experienced mechanical difficulties shortly after lifting off. The crew notified air traffic control of problems involving the right-side engine and initiated an emergency procedure to return to the airfield.
While attempting to manage the situation, the plane became uncontrollable and descended into the Campo Belo district, which is situated in close proximity to the airport. The impact resulted in a large fire that consumed the wreckage and several nearby residences. The crash caused the total destruction of four houses. All 15 occupants on board the aircraft perished in the accident. There were no reported fatalities among the residents on the ground.
Findings
Official investigations concluded that the primary factor in the accident was the failure of the right engine during the climb following takeoff.
