The release will take place after the Force body Brazilian Air Force (FAB) to finalize the investigations and the report to be reviewed by authorities in France and Canada, as provided for in the international protocol for investigations of air accidents. At this Thursday's press conference, Cenipa's chief and investigators will be interviewed and provide an overview of the investigations. After the event, the report should be made available on the FAB body's website for public consultation. MORE lawyer expects indictments by the PF Unpublished audios showed conversations between pilots and control minutes before the plane crash in Vinhedo What happened to Voepass 1 year after the disaster with 62 deaths Review Archive image of the site of the Voepass plane crash in Vinhedo (SP), on August 10, 2024 Carla Carniel/ Reuters At the beginning of this month, the document entered its final stages of preparation and was being analyzed by two entities outside Brazil: by the Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la Sécurité de l'Aviation Civile (BEA), from France, the country responsible for the design and manufacture of the ATR 72-500; and the Transportation Safety Board (TSB), of Canada, responsible for the design and manufacture of the engines. What was analyzed Throughout the investigation, Cenipa carried out dozens of tests to reconstruct the flight and identify the factors that contributed to the accident. ?? Among the main works are: analysis of the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and the flight data recorder (FDR); complete reconstruction of the flight, including the commands made by the pilots and the alerts issued by the aircraft; examinations of engines and components of deicing and stall protection systems; analysis of meteorological conditions recorded on the day of the accident; interviews with pilots, mechanics, dispatchers and crew members’ families; study of more than 15 thousand flights carried out by aircraft from the same company fleet; tests in simulators and an experimental flight with another aircraft of the same model; analysis of maintenance records, pilots' medical certificates and other technical documents. According to the agency, tests were also carried out on equipment that controls different aircraft systems and even on the lamps on the plane's panels to check which ones were on at the time of the crash. Two black boxes from the Voepass ATR-72, which crashed in Vinhedo, are in the possession of the Cenipa team for investigation into the accident. Reproduction/Jornal Nacional Criminal investigation is also in the final stretch In parallel with the technical investigation conducted by Cenipa, the Federal Police is also in the final phase of the investigation that investigates possible criminal responsibilities for the plane crash. On June 30, representatives of the victims' families had access for the first time to the transcript of conversations recorded in the aircraft cabin. The document is part of the expert report produced by the National Institute of Criminalistics (INC), which is the basis for the PF investigation. The conversations were awaited by family members because they could help clarify the final moments of the flight, including whether the pilots commented on or activated the aircraft's deicing system — one of the hypotheses investigated since the accident. After meeting with investigators, lawyers representing the families said they expect the Federal Police to conclude the investigation within the next 30 days and forward the case to the Federal Public Ministry (MPF). According to them, the report brings together elements that could result in indictments. Technical investigation and criminal investigation have different objectives. While the agency's report seeks to identify the factors that contributed to the accident and increase aviation safety, the Federal Police investigation investigates whether there were crimes and those responsible for the tragedy. Relatives of the victims of flight 2283 and lawyers at the Federal Police Station, in Campinas (SP) Fernando Evans/g1 Legal action After the conclusion of the Federal Police investigation, family members of the 62 victims are preparing to go to court again with a collective civil liability action for moral damages. The measure does not replace individual compensation actions that are already underway and are being processed under secrecy. The idea is to hold responsible not only the airline, but also individuals, companies and any institutions that may have contributed, by action or omission, to the tragedy. According to lawyer Leonardo Amarante, who represents the association, the action will focus on the damage caused not only to the victims and their relatives, but also to Brazilian air transport. "The association will file a class action for civil liability for collective moral damages due to what this company caused to public transport, air transport in Brazil, very serious damage, not only damage to people, to victims, but also to the community itself." Remember the accident The accident happened on August 9, 2024. The ATR 72-500, registered PS-VPB, was flying between Cascavel (PR) and Guarulhos International Airport (SP). The aircraft crashed in the backyard of a house in a condominium in Vinhedo. The 62 people on board, including 58 passengers and four crew, died. No resident of the affected residence was injured. The accident was the most serious in Brazilian aviation since the TAM flight disaster in 2007. What Voepass says In a statement, Voep
