Brazilian air accident investigation agency Cenipa issued its final report last week on the July 2012 crash of a Beechcraft King Air 200GT that was on approach to Juiz da Fora Airport (SBJF), 250 miles northeast of São Paulo. The aircraft, owned and operated by Domingos Costa Ind. Alimentícias, was attempting to land in foggy conditions that were reportedly below landing minimums when it struck terrain 800 feet short of the runway and 50 feet below runway elevation, killing all eight people aboard. Investigators cited as contributing factors weather conditions and the pilot-in-command’s “laissez-faire” leadership style, as well as the co-pilot’s lack of assertiveness. The report indicated that the co-pilot had exhibited timidity and excessive deference, pointing out that he had far less flight experience than the PIC: 730 hours versus 14,170. Despite the reported weather, the PIC chose a non-precision Rnav (GNSS) approach procedure. The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) captured the PIC’s plan to circle until the fog dissipated, but on passing the minimum descent altitude (MDA) the crew did not go around despite not seeing the runway. The CVR also recorded the copilot informing the PIC as the aircraft passed four successive altitudes that were below MDA and calling out three EGPWS alerts. Cenipa’s sole safety recommendation to Brazilian civil aviation agency ANAC was that the October 2 report’s contents should be divulged to aircraft owners and operators.
