- Date: June 6, 2001
- Aircraft: Embraer EMB-820 Navajo/Carajá
- Location: Curitiba-Bacacheri, Paraná, Brazil
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew's decision to land at Bacacheri in poor weather rather than divert, as the crew underestimated the weather at destination.
