What: Passaredo Linhas Aéreas Embraer ERJ-145LU en route from Sao Paulo to Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, Brazil
Where: Brazil
When: August 25, 2010
Who: 24 passengers and 3 crew
Why: The plane had a normal approach. This sounds like the merging of several versions:
The crew was attempting a belly landing, after the landing gear were not responding properly.
Prior to the runway, the plane had a tail strike and went out of control.
The flight touched down short of the runway and the landing gear ripped free and the plane skidded out of control.
What is indisputable is that after the plane skidded to a stop, the right engine briefly caught fire. Two passengers had minor injuries. From the photos, this looks like a miracle that no one was killed.
The Embraer sustained substantial damage and is considered a total loss.
George’s Point of View
I am marking this as unresolved. Of course ALL crashes we report are unresolved because the final report may not be out for YEARS. But this one seems contradictory. If the flight was making a belly landing, ATC would not be considering this a normal approach.
So this looks to me like the plane just landed short of the runway and sheared off its landing gear. But I am not in Bahia, Brazil and will have to wait on the report to know what really happened.
