巴西空军调查人员周四公布了2024年Voepass航班坠机事故的调查结果。该航班于8月9日在圣保罗郊区城市Vinhedo坠毁,机上62人全部遇难,这是巴西自2007年以来最严重的空难事故 [1]。
事故涉及一架Voepass ATR 72-500双涡轮螺旋桨飞机,当时从Cascavel起飞前往圣保罗国际机场,坠机前飞行高度为17,000英尺 [1]。
调查发现,严重的结冰条件、机械系统故障(包括已知的除冰系统故障)和机组人员分心三个因素共同导致了这场事故 [1]。调查机构还指出,Voepass航空公司存在"规范化偏差的系统文化" [1]。
Brazilian Air Force investigators released findings Thursday on the August 9, 2024 crash of a Voepass flight in the São Paulo suburb of Vinhedo, which claimed all 62 people aboard [1]. The investigation determined that severe icing conditions, mechanical system failures, and crew distraction combined to cause Brazil's deadliest aviation accident since 2007 [1].
The ATR 72-500 twin-turboprop aircraft was en route from Cascavel to São Paulo International Airport when it went down in a residential area [1]. At the time of the incident, the plane was operating at an altitude of 17,000 feet [1].
According to investigators, the aircraft was equipped with a known de-icing system failure [1]. The probe also identified what officials characterized as "a systemic culture of normalized deviation" within the airline's operations [1].
