Colombian Authorities: Pilot Error Caused Avro RJ85 Crash
The jet carrying Brazil’s Chapecoense soccer team ran out of fuel while waiting for clearance to land outside of Medellin, Colombia.

Pilot error was to blame for the crash of an Avro RJ85 regional jet in Colombia last month, the Colombian civil aeronautics agency Aeronáutica Civil said on December 26. Seventy-one of 77 occupants died in the crash of the four-engine jet operated by Bolivian airline LaMia.
