Aircraft


The aircraft was a Bell 206B, manufactured in 1975, registered PT-HPG.[1][4] The pilot, Ronaldo Quatrucci, was one of the owners of the aerial shuttle company operating the aircraft.[3]


Accident


Journalist and news anchor Ricardo Boechat, from Rede Bandeirantes, was on his way to the head office of the broadcaster in São Paulo after speaking at an event for pharmaceutical company Libbs in Campinas, which is located about 100 km from the head offices.[3] The helicopter crashed near kilometer 8 of the Rodoanel, on the Anhanguera highway, after attempting to make an emergency landing on one of the highway locks, following low-altitude flight and an unspecified malfunction. It collided with a semi truck unable to brake on time, burst into flames, and eventually exploded.[1][3]


Investigation


Preliminary information published by the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (Anac) showed that the helicopter had a valid flight certificate until May 2023.[3] However, RQ Serviços Aéreos Especializados Ltda was not authorized to provide air taxi services, only specialized air services such as aerial photography, airborne and aerial transport.[5] Anac has announced that it has opened an investigation on the case.[5] In 2011, RQ had paid a fine of 8,000 BRL (2506.74 USD) for offering panoramic flights without air taxi certification.[6]

RQ Serviços Aéreos Especializados Ltda., owner of the helicopter, had been contracted by Zum Brazil, an event company that, in turn, rendered services to the pharmaceutical company Libbs, which promoted its annual sales agreement.[5]

CENIPA (Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Center) issued their investigation report in October 2020.[7] The report identified an airworthy compressor module was refitted to the engine.[8]
