The aircraft departed Buenos Aires (EZE) for a cargo flight to São Paulo-Viracopos (VCP) via Porto Alegre (POA). En route on the first leg, at an altitude of FL170, a crew member headed to the cargo compartment, and noticed the presence of smoke. he tried to extinguish the fire with emergency equipment, but did not succeed. Some 16 nm from Melo Airport (MLZ), Uruguay, the crew declared an in-flight emergency to Montevideo ACC. The operating hours of the only airport nearby, Melo, are from 07:00 hrs to 19:00 hrs, so it was closed. Montevideo ACC contacted the airport guard who switched on the runway lights and reported the emergency to fire fighters and police located in the city. The aircraft found the runway lights and landed on runway 07. Touchdown took place 340 m from the threshold. The F-27 stopped 640 m after touchdown. The crew evacuated through the cockpit windows, due to the intense heat and smoke in the cargo area. Ten minutes after landing, the fire fighters arrived and succeeded in extinguishing the fire. The airplane suffered considerable damage in the cargo compartments E and F.
Probable Cause:
Causa probable:
Numerosas muestras de aceite, tejidos vegetales, animales y varios que eran trasportados, habrían reaccionado al entrar en contacto con una reacción química exotérmica y combustión asociada. El origen del suceso, se podría haber producido por derrame, al someter contenedores de líquidos, no adecuados para una diferencial de presión, con poca capacidad de expansión por excesivo llenado y estiva de materiales indiscriminada.
Escasa rigurosidad en el llenado de formularios destinados a descripción de tipo de productos entregados para su envío en oficinas de la empresa, así como poco control o descuido en el manejo de la carga habría coadyuvado a la ocurrencia del accidente.
