- Date: December 28, 1998
- Aircraft: Embraer ERJ-145
- Location: Curitiba-Afonso Pena, Paraná, Brazil
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Crew continued an unstabilised approach with a high rate of descent and did not go around, with training, supervision and crew coordination shortcomings contributing.
A Rio-Sul Embraer ERJ-145 operating flight SL310 from Campinas landed hard at Curitiba in instrument conditions after the crew continued a high, unstabilised approach. The aircraft broke its fuselage behind the wings and was written off, but all 40 people on board escaped uninjured. Brazil's CENIPA investigation attributed the event mainly to crew performance, training and cockpit resource management shortcomings.
