In an interview with CNN Brasil, pilot Rafael Santos offered a technical analysis of the plane crash in Vinhedo, in the interior of São Paulo, this Friday (9), which caused the death of 62 people. According to Santos, the evidence suggests that “the plane entered an attitude that was difficult to be saved or rescued or managed by the pilots”. This statement indicates the gravity of the situation faced by the crew moments before the accident.
Two-part analysis
The expert proposes a two-step approach to understanding the accident: “We have to understand what led the plane to enter this type of attitude and what prevented the pilots from regaining altitude.”
Santos emphasizes that, although the situation is difficult, it is theoretically recoverable. However, the fact that there was no recovery “indicates that he had a controllability problem”. In the technical language of aviation, the pilot explains that “the plane entered an undesirable state and suffered a loss of control in flight, which caused the accident”.
The preliminary analysis raises important questions about factors that may have contributed to the accident, including possible mechanical failure or adverse weather conditions. Authorities will conduct a detailed investigation to determine the exact causes of the incident.
For the pilot, the accident in Vinhedo reinforces the importance of constant reviews and improvements in aviation safety protocols, as well as the need for continuous training of pilots to deal with emergency situations.
