SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazilian air force investigators on Thursday published their findings about the 2024 Voepass airplane accident that killed 62 people after it spiraled into a crash outside metropolis Sao Paulo. The probe confirmed that a combination of severe icing conditions, as well as mechanical system failures and pilot distractions, contributed to the country's most deadly air crash since 2007. The Voepass ATR 72-500 twin-turboprop crashed into a residential neighborhood in the city of Vinhedo on Aug. 9, 2024, killing all aboard. The flight en route from the city of Cascavel to Sao Paulo's international airport encountered severe atmospheric icing while cruising at 17,000 feet, the probe showed. The probe also showed the crew was distracted by routine radio communications and administrative tasks during severe icing warnings and did not make correction maneuvers in time.
