- Date: February 9, 2017
- Aircraft: BAe 125
- Location: São Paulo-Guarulhos, São Paulo, Brazil
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: CENIPA: The copilot did not assertively raise his concern about the gear condition, reducing the captain's situational awareness and leading to use of the gear override. Crew coordination and decision making were also contributing factors.
On 9 February 2017 a BAe 125 800B chartered to carry Senator Aecio Neves from Brasilia to Sao Paulo lost a main gear tyre on takeoff and diverted to Guarulhos. After a night landing the left main gear collapsed and the jet left the runway, but all three occupants escaped and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. CENIPA found that the copilot did not clearly raise his concern about the gear condition, which reduced the captain's situational awareness.
