Pilot Larcio Tavares da Silva and passenger Luis Fernando Correa de Sousa were also killed in the accident.

According to the report, the Uniao da Vitoria area was foggy and had no conditions for visual flight.

The document notes that weather conditions “impaired the pilot’s perception of the aircraft’s external environment, which encouraged the loss of visual signals and contributed to the accident.”

According to Senepa, the pilot learned that the weather was unfavorable, as he consulted officials at União da Vitória airport about 30 minutes before takeoff.

“There were shortcomings in the preparations for the flight, including the lack of an accurate assessment of the weather conditions for the route and destination,” the document cited.

In addition, the investigation indicates that the agents found documents on the plane showing unofficial procedures for landing at Uniao da Vitoria Airport.
