Accident
A four-engine aircraft, christened 'Domingos Dias Prado', experienced a landing accident. The aircraft approached the runway with a wrong configuration, resulting in a landing that was too far down the runway. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the airplane overran the runway and eventually crashed into a ravine. All 59 occupants were evacuated safely. The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined the probable cause to be a wrong approach configuration on part of the flying crew, who completed the approach too high above the glide path and at an excessive speed. This caused the aircraft to land too far down the runway. It was also reported that the crew failed to execute a go-around while the approach procedure was missed.
