Brazil probe: severe icing a key factor in 2024 Voepass crash that killed 62 Brazilian air force investigators say severe icing contributed to the 2024 Voepass accident near São Paulo, in which the aircraft spiraled into a crash and killed 62 people. The findings provide a safety-focused basis for evaluating icing detection/avoidance procedures and system performance in flight conditions.
