EVERYTHING We Know About The Brazil Air Crash

Published 2024-08-22
However, given how many Mentour viewers are nervous flyers, I decided to make this video explaining some of the basics based on what we know now. My heart goes out to everyone aboard the aircraft, as well as their loved ones. I hope this video at least helps people within our community come to terms with the incident.

Brazilian 737 pilot here. That day i was flying from Argentina to Sao Paulo. I flew through that same area a couple of hours later. in the STAR towards sao paulo. There was a severe icing advisory in effect. While Descending below fl200 we got ice formation on our windshields and wings. A very strong weather system was arriving from the south that day. Rip all the souls and the brave brazilian pilots whom im sure fought all the way to the very end.
-
The level of professionalism and graphics and general knowhow on your videos is really second to none. Outstanding
-
Brazilian here. Thanks, Peter, for this great video
-
As grim as it is, the fact that every commercial aviation incident with significant risk to life or actual loss of life, is world news, just tells me how rare it is.
-
Dear Peter, a fan from Brazil here! Thanks for approaching this subject so professionally and sensibly, as always! ❤
-
That video chilled me to the bone. I knew it could happen, but I'd never SEEN a commercial aircraft in a flat spin. What a terrifying experience that would have been.
-
Thank you for being respectful and avoiding speculation. What a terrible event, but I know the industry will learn from it
-
Mentour, the go to person for anything aviation related. Not a nervous flyer at all, but thank you for making this.

As soon as I saw the videos of this tragedy, I wanted to hear Petter Mentour Pilot’s take on it. Wanting to know every detail about this accident isn’t morbid curiosity, it’s about completely understanding everything so that it never happens again!
-
Props to the person doing the graphics during the explanation, they are easy to understand and also pretty!
-
Not to forget AZ 460 (Milan-> Cologne) on Oct 15th, 1987 where an ATR 42 crashed into the italian Alps due to Problems with Ice.

You precisely described the chain of events phenomenon that leads to an aircraft accident. I have been involved in several of these "chains" but recognized what I was involved with and broke the chain. Well done! I am a retired United 767 pilot and have thousands of hours in turboprops. In fact, I am flying the Pilatus PC-12NG in my retirement years. Never in 58 years as a pilot have I ever heard of a commercial airliners getting into a flat spin. I am sure the answer will be starting. I was a United 737 pilot based at Chicago O'Hare in 1994 and had flown the same holding pattern where the ATR crashed in Indiana and have studied that accident.
-
This cruising height that the ATR usually flies at is also more problematic for ice build up
-
It should be noted that flat spin accidents are incredibly rare. As far as I know, the last time a passenger plane crashed after getting into an uncontrollable flat spin was nearly 40 years ago. But that's what makes this aircraft and the videos all the more shocking.
-
I was actually in Rio visiting my boyfriend at the time. He knows I’m a huge aviation nerd and sent me the videos saying that a “plane fell out of the sky” in São Paulo. I explained to him about stalls and what a flat spin was, and what could cause a plane to get in such a situation, including icing conditions. Admittedly, I’m not the best at identifying planes at first glance…but when I heard it was an ATR, my mind immediately flashed back to the American Eagle crash. I can’t imagine how horrible it was for everybody aboard.
-
One of my father's best friends died in the 1994 Roselawn crash. It's incredibly disheartening to see that a similar issue may have caused another tragedy 30 years later.
-
I am from Vinhedo. A person that was closed to the accident described the plane falling like a sheet of paper... so sad...
-
Magnificent. I love how frequent your recent releases have been. Looking forward to more videos🙏🏾

Brazilian follower here, thank you for ur respectful and cautious approach!
