Pilot Jorge, who has already totaled 14 hours of flighthad difficulty landing at Guarulhos International Airport and when making a thrown in the opposite direction, ended up causing the aircraft to collide with the mountain – the go-around maneuver is a conventional practice, which normally determines that the plane goes to the left so as not to collide with other aircraft, however, in Guarulhos, due to the terrain, the planes must be directed to the right. This was not observed by the professional, who followed conventional instructions.
At 11:16 pm, after some misunderstandings between regional flight control and the pilots in command of the aircraft, the plane collided with one of the hills at an altitude of more than a thousand meters.

Rescue teams arrived hours later at the accident site, a difficult-to-access region between the mountains. No one was found alive.
