Contributing Factors

(1). Deficiente Supervisão - Contribuiu
A operação em campo de pouso não homologado vinha sendo realizada pela empresa constantemente, sem que houvesse mecanismo de supervisão adequada em nível administrativo para evitar essas irregularidades.
(2). Indisciplina de Vôo - Contribuiu
A pista de pouso foi utilizada pelos pilotos sem que estivesse devidamente homologada, contrariando intencionalmente, e sem motivo justificável, a legislação vigente.
(3). Deficiente Julgamento – Contribuiu
O comandante julgou ser mais conveniente a manutenção do motor direito em funcionamento, ao invés de efetuar o corte de imediato, dado ao aglomerado de pessoas.
(4). Deficiente Coordenação de Cabine – Contribuiu
Os recursos disponíveis na tripulação para a operação de uma maneira mais segura não foram utilizados.
(5). Outros – Contribuiu
A invasão da área de giro da hélice por pessoa em visível estado de embriaguez culminou na ocorrência do acidente.
