Ronaldo Quattrucci, 56, also died in the accident. The professional, according to Cenipa, carried out actions considered incorrect during the operation of the helicopter. According to the report, it did not verify that the on-board instruments were working perfectly. His attitudes during the flight also contributed to the accident, according to the FAB.
The helicopter crashed on the Anhanguera highway, in the Rodoanel, in São Paulo, and hit the front of a truck passing by on the highway on February 11, 2019.
See the factors that contributed to the accident, according to Cenipa:
- Aircraft maintenance
- Pilot attitude
- Organizational culture of the pilot’s company (who also owned the helicopter)
- Indiscipline of the pilot’s flight
- Commander’s test ride
- Decision making at the time of tragedy
The document points in particular to Aircraft compressor failures, which has not had full updates or changes since 1988. The compressor had expired parts at the time of the accident. The aircraft’s oil distribution pipeline was also “” oversupplied several times, “according to Cenipa.
The pilot obtained technical approval from the National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac) on August 9, 2017.
“No compressor overhaul records have been found or submitted since 1988,” Cenipa said.
The investigation found that “there was inefficiency, on the part of the operator (the pilot), in terms of the maintenance organization, in the monitoring and execution of the maintenance processes” of the helicopter.

Other factors that contributed to the accident were abnormal wear of some parts – which caused the aircraft to be overloaded and the tail rotor connecting shaft to break at the time of the fall -, and the indiscipline on the part of the commander, which, according to the FAB, made an air taxi flight without having operational authorization to do so.
Both the pilot and the helicopter could not make air taxi flights (when there is payment for the trip).
