Incident Overview
On an unspecified date, an aircraft landed at Tarauacá Airport. Following touchdown, the crew initiated the braking procedure. Control was subsequently lost, and the aircraft veered off the runway. It collided with several obstacles before coming to rest in a ditch. All 23 occupants evacuated without injury. The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined the probable cause to be a loss of control after landing resulting from the crew selecting the power levers to 'ground fine pitch,' combined with the failure of the antiskid system due to poor maintenance. A contributing factor was the operator's severe financial difficulties, which adversely affected the motivation of maintenance, flight, and cabin crew.
