Legacy Pilots Turned Off Transponder, Brazil Says

Jethwhine’s man in Brazil, Marcelo Alves, said today´s edition of Folha de S. Paulo reported an important leak from the Brazilian Air Force investigation into last fall’s midair between a Gol Airlines Boeing 737 and a U.S. registered Embraer Legacy.

Folha says the Air Force is now convinced the Legacy pilots turned off the transponder by mistake and that the unit did not somehow fail as was previously thought. Details about exactly how the pilots turned off the transponder by mistake were not available.

The transponder issue was leaked to a Folha reporter yesterday in advance of the official Air Force document.
