The ATR 72-500 was piloted by highly experienced aviators — Captain Danilo Santos Romano, 35, and First Officer Humberto Alencar e Silva, 61. Between them, they had amassed over 10,000 hours of flight experience, and all pre-flight checks showed nothing out of the ordinary.

These factors combined into a deadly scenario that even the most seasoned pilots could not overcome. The disaster serves as a grim reminder of how unpredictable and unforgiving nature can be, even in modern aviation. Families, friends, and an entire nation were left mourning the sudden loss of 62 lives.
