| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
During the descent, a maneuver was performed in manual flight to reduce speed, causing a maximum positive load factor of 2.23438 G, which culminated in the fall of a crewmember.
The flight continued to the destination and the landing was made without any other abnormalities.
The aircraft was undamaged.
The flight attendant suffered serious injuries and the other occupants of the aircraft left unharmed.
Contributing factors.
- Control skills – a contributor.
The wide use of the sidestick, resulting in a reaction of the aircraft different from that expected by the pilot, caused a positive load factor that contributed to the fall of the crewmember.
- Attention – undetermined.
It is presumably that there has been a reduction in the level of attention devoted to monitoring the parameters after selecting Open Descend, since, at that time, the copilot was also in charge of the aircraft's controls and that there was little margin for speed until the VMO was reached.
- Training – undetermined.
Despite the satisfactory performance presented by the copilot in the training offered by the company, it is possible that an adequate level of conditioning for manual flight has not been reached, since the amplitude used in the controls, caused a deflection of -16.1219 in the Stick Right, close to the VMO, suggesting little familiarization with this condition, which may have contributed to the PIO.
