Voepass Linhas Aéreas Flight 2283[1] was a Brazilian passenger flight that crashed in Vinhedo, São Paulo after entering what appeared to be a flat spin on 9 August 2024.[3] The aircraft, an ATR 72-500 turboprop airliner, was flying from Cascavel Airport, Cascavel, Paraná to Guarulhos International Airport, São Paulo, São Paulo with 58 passengers and 4 crew members on board. The aircraft was flying at an altitude of 17,000 ft (5,200 m) when it spun out of control and entered a rapid descent at around 13:22 local time.[4]
Aircraft
The aircraft involved in the accident was a 13-year-old twin-engine turboprop ATR-72-500 with Manufacturer Serial number (MSN) 908 and registered as PS-VPB, powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127M engines.[5][6][7]
Crash
The aircraft was traveling from Cascavel in Paraná State to São Paulo.[8] Firefighters reported that the plane had fallen in Vinhedo, São Paulo State[9] after contact with it was lost at around 13:30 local time.[8] Preliminary data indicated that the aircraft reached a descent rate of 13,000 feet per minute.[1] In the area of the crash, there was an active warning for severe icing between 12,000 and 21,000 feet.[10] The aircraft was flying at 17,000 feet just before the crash.[10] The plane crashed near a condominium in a residential area of the Capela neighborhood, with no reports of injuries on the ground.[11] Several houses were reported to have been hit by the plane as it crashed.[8]
Videos of the aircraft before it crashed were widely shared on social media,[12][13] showing it spinning downwards in a slight nose down orientation. Brazilian television news channel GloboNews interrupted Olympics coverage to broadcast the area of the crash that showed a large amount of widespread fire and smoke arising from a plane fuselage.[14][9][15]
Aftermath
A moment of silence for those on board was declared by President Lula da Silva, who was at an event in the south of the country when news of the crash broke out.[9]
Investigation
The Brazilian Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Center (CENIPA) has launched an investigation into the crash.[5]
