The materials were transported by the FAB and are essential to understanding what may have caused the crash of flight 2283.
The 2 black boxes from flight 2283 that crashed in Vinhedos, in the interior of São Paulo, on Friday (9.Aug.2024), arrived in Brasília on the morning of this Saturday (10.Aug.2024). The materials were transported by FAB (Brazilian Air Force) and are fundamental to understanding what may have caused the crash of the PS-VPB aircraft of the company Voepass (formerly Passaredo).
The recorders are of the CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder) and FDR (Flight Data Recorder) types. The CVR records radio communications and cabin sounds, such as pilot voices and engine noise, while the FDR monitors parameters such as altitude, speed and direction.
The equipment is being evaluated by Cenipa (Air Accident Investigation and Prevention Center), which is investigating the causes of the accident.
VICTIMS
The plane crashed in the city of Vinhedo (SP), on Friday (August 9), after taking off from Cascavel (PA), bound for Guarulhos (SP). With the victim, 62 deaths are confirmed (58 passengers and 4 crew members). The Public Security Department of São Paulo confirmed that until 11 am this Saturday (June 10) 26 bodies were removed from the accident site.
Of the recovered bodies, two were identified through fingerprints. Another 12 are already at the Central Forensic Medical Institute (IML) in the capital of São Paulo for identification. “The others will be sent to São Paulo in the next few minutes,” the department said.
Here is the full text of Voepass’s statement from this Saturday (10.Aug.2024):
“VOEPASS Linhas Aéreas confirms that Constantino Thé Maia is one of the victims of the accident that occurred yesterday, August 9, 2024, with flight 2283, in the Vinhedo-SP region.
Constantino’s name was not on the list of embarked passengers, released yesterday, due to a technical issue identified by the company regarding check-in validations, boarding validation and counting of embarked passengers.
Out of respect for the identity of the passenger and his family, VOEPASS decided to confirm the information that Constantino was on board flight 2283 only when there was no doubt.
With regret, VOEPASS regrets to inform that the number of victims of the accident that occurred on Friday, August 9, of flight 2283, coming from Cascavel bound for Guarulhos airport, is 62 people.
Since yesterday, the company has been providing assistance and offering support to Constantino’s family, who are already receiving full support for their trip to São Paulo.
In this moment of deep pain, the VOEPASS Linhas Aéreas team continues to direct its efforts to unrestrictedly support all the families of the victims, to provide not only operational structure, but also comfort and solidarity, in addition to contributing to the investigations of the competent authorities.”
