- Date: August 30, 2002
- Aircraft: Fokker 100
- Location: Campinas-Viracopos, São Paulo, Brazil
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Loss of hydraulic fluid from a hose at a fitting on the right engine pump, which disabled the primary hydraulic system and degraded the landing gear control.
A TAM Fokker 100 on a Salvador to Sao Paulo service lost its primary hydraulic system at cruise and diverted to Campinas-Viracopos. The landing gear could not be lowered, so the crew made a belly landing on runway 33. All occupants evacuated and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
