Talking at a navy occasion within the southern metropolis of Itajai, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva held a minute’s silence for the victims of the crash.
The reason for the crash continues to be unknown. In aviation, a flat spin sometimes happens when a aircraft’s heart of gravity shifts too far in the direction of its tail, pitching its nostril up and lowering airflow over the wings. With much less air flowing over the wings, the aircraft loses altitude, and any subsequent horizontal rotation could cause it to enter an uncontrollable spin. With lowered air move over management surfaces, recovering from such a spin will be extraordinarily troublesome, notably on bigger plane. Icing on a aircraft’s wings also can set off a flat spin.
The Brazilian Air Pressure has despatched a crew of investigators to find out the reason for the accident, native media reported.
