- Date: May 19, 2010
- Aircraft: Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante
- Location: Cascavel, Paraná, Brazil
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Controlled flight into terrain after the crew descended too low in instrument conditions and did not go around, with fatigue, poor crew coordination and operator supervision as contributing factors.
An EMB-110 cargo flight from Sorocaba descended below the glide path on a night approach in fog and mist to Cascavel and struck the ground about 700 metres short of runway 33. The aircraft lost its undercarriage and slid about 150 metres before stopping. Both pilots escaped uninjured, and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
