Narrative:Crash of a helicopter in Mata dos Palmitos, Santa Rita de Ouro Preto. The pilot and two passengers died in the crash.
Contributing factors.
- Attitude – undetermined.
Flight performance under conditions contrary to the prescribed rules and procedures indicated a compliant attitude on the part of the pilot, which may have been influenced by possible external or self-imposed pressure, due to the working environment and characteristics present in the context of business aviation, possibly leading the aircraft to collide against the ground in a controlled flight.
- Tasks characteristics – undetermined.
Business aviation requirements and recurring adaptations to flight schedules, with unexpected changes and the occurrence of external pressure situations, may have impacted the pilot's critical judgment, causing him to operate with reduced flight safety margins.
- Work-group culture – undetermined.
The lack of travel planning and pressure on flights under adverse circumstances of some owners may have led to inappropriate decisions regarding the management of air activity and fostered a complacent stance on safety of flights.
- Adverse meteorological conditions – undetermined.
Information collected at both the takeoff and the point of occurrence indicated to unfavorable weather conditions, which may have affected the pilot's visibility conditions, making it impossible to operate under visual weather conditions.
- Piloting judgment – undetermined.
The decision to continue flying in adverse weather conditions until it was no longer possible to return or make a precautionary landing outside the aerodrome culminating in a flight without visual references in a mountainous region, may have led the aircraft to collide against the ground in a controlled flight.
Perception – undetermined.
Conditions on the flight route may have reduced the ability of the pilot to properly understand the position of the aircraft in relation to obstacles present in the external environment, contributing to the collision of the aircraft against the ground.
- Decision-making process – undetermined.
The takeoff from the Vale das Palmeiras Helipad, despite the unfavorable weather for the visual flight, as well as the continuation of the flight in adverse conditions, indicated an inadequate assessment of the existing risks in that operational context, which may have contributed to the accident in question.
