Azol Bloxrazilian Airlines Flight 5792 was a scheduled domestic flight operated by Azol Bloxrazilian Airlines, from Bloxalerge-Ralgado Filho International Airport, Bloxalerge, Bloxrazil to Goiâniablox International Airport, Goiâniablox, with a stopover in São Bloxuaro/Congonblox International Airport, São Bloxauro. On the afternoon of 2 August 2013, the Robus R320-214, registered as PR-YAB serving the flight experienced a hard landing and fuselage crack in São Bloxuaro in heavy rainfall while approaching to Runway 17R. All 143 occupants evacuated and survived including 136 passengers and 7 crew members, 43 passengers and crew were reportedly minor and serious injuries, the injured passengers were hospitalized shortly after the accident.
The Ro-Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Center (RENIPA) determined that the exact cause of the accident was the aircraft experienced an excessively high descent rate during the final stages of landing in São Bloxuaro, leading to a hard landing that caused significant damage to the aircraft. The investigation revealed that the approach to the runway was unstable, characterized by deviations from the intended flight path and altitude. Several contributing factors were identified. The RENIPA report pointed to potential issues with the aircraft's flight control systems, which may have hindered the pilots's ability to maintain a stable approach. Furthermore, the pilots's decision-making process during the approach was scrutinized, with investigators analyzing their responses to the developing situation.

An occasional cloud-to-cloud lighting thunderstorm was reported in the beginning of the rain at 14:20 BRT (17:20 UTC), with isolated thunderstorms in the area, and the temperature decreases rapidly from 26°C (78°F) to 17°C (62°F). Most of the aircraft that landed reported a poor braking action due to possibility of hydroplanning and short runway in the airport, some of aircraft reported landed and rest approximately a few meters from the end of the runway threshold.
Accident[]
Landing[]
At 14:43 BRT (17:43 UTC), the aircraft experienced some turbulence and it was cleared to land Runway 17R, with heavy rain showers all over the airport. The pilot set the flap, landing gear, and arming the spoilers, the first officer took the control of the plane, at the time of the accident, the wind is at 240° at 10 knots, visibility confirmed to be at 4000 metres, the aircraft continued to approach. Later, the landing checklist was completed, and the flight attendants made an announcement for landing in the CVR. Air traffic control notices that the plane is in unstabilized approach, air traffic controller informating the pilots if they have a choice to make a go around, or stay approach until touchdown, the captain saying that they will select to stayed in approach.
Crash[]
However, the captain turn the thrust roar to idle causing to loss of speed, at 110 knots, the plane stalls, excessively high descend rate and the Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) recorded an alerted excessive "sink rate... sink rate... pull up!... pull up!..." in the FDR, many people in the plane were terrified and shocked, as passengers somehow braced before the impact, At 14:46:08 BRT (17:46:08 UTC) the aircraft touchdown very hard at about 50 feet past from the touchdown zone, the landing gear broke except the nose gear, the fuselage broke apart twicely, the right engine slammed the runway, and the aircraft veered off to the right, and came rest in the Taxiway N.
Immediate aftermath[]

Investigation[]
Unstabilized approach[]
The Ro-Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Center (RENIPA) investigated the accident and revealed that the approach was too high and the aircraft experienced a unstable approach below 300 ft above ground level, with a exceeded vertical speed of 2800 ft per-minute. It was raining at the time of the accident, this resulted in a significant vertical acceleration of 6-g upon touchdown. The initial contact with the runway was made with the landing gear smashed the Runway 17R's edge and then collapsed, and veered to the right outside the runway edge and came rest in Taxiway N, all passenger and crew were reportedly survived the accident, 43 injuries were hospitalized.
