- Date: August 7, 2022
- Aircraft: IAI 1124 Westwind
- Location: Goiânia-Nacional de Aviação, Goiás, Brazil
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: CENIPA: inadequate flight control handling during the final approach, with large variations in descent rate, and the pilots' judgment in choosing to land without a stabilized approach.
An IAI Westwind on a test flight returned to Goiânia after the pressurization failed at FL340, landed on runway 32 and veered off the runway to the right, hitting obstacles. All three aboard survived. CENIPA cited flight control handling, an unstabilized approach and piloting judgment.
