Brazilian authorities have found the black box of the Voepass ATR-72 plane that crashed, killing 62 people.
According to the website FlightRadar24, for the area where the twin-engine plane was flying with 58 passengers and a crew of four, a warning had been issued for a "high chance of icing" at an altitude between 12,000 and 21,000 feet, adding that the plane was at 17,000 feet just before it crashed.
This warning, as explained in an article by Sky News, is about water droplets freezing and accumulating on wings and propellers, causing problems with the aircraft's performance by reducing thrust and/or lift and increasing friction.
The director of aviation services told reporters that although there were forecasts for ice, it was within acceptable limits for this type of aircraft.
According to the head of Brazil's air accident investigation commission, the plane that crashed "is certified in several countries to fly in icy conditions, in some of which the impact of freezing is more severe."
