- Date: March 28, 2014
- Aircraft: Fokker 100
- Location: Brasília, Distrito Federal, Brazil
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: CENIPA: A restriction of the right nose landing gear door hinge movement, with insufficient gear weight to overcome it, associated with lubrication and maintenance deviations. The manufacturer maintenance program may also have contributed, and the root cause of the EDP1 gasket extrusion could not be determined.
Avianca Brasil Fokker 100 PR OAF, flight OC6393 from Petrolina, lost hydraulic system 1 about 30 minutes after takeoff and continued to Brasilia. The nose landing gear did not extend with the alternative system, so the crew landed on the main gear and held the nose up until the nose settled onto the runway, stopping after about 900 meters. All 44 passengers and five crew evacuated, with one copilot injured and the aircraft substantially damaged and written off.
