Question Brazil ATR 22 flat spin crash

[MCKNGBRD]

Thanks. So gross pilot error.

Basically. In the 90s, when there was a fatal crash in Indiana that pointed to icing as a primary cause, the FAA issued guidance that autopilot wasn't to be used in known icing conditions, so pilots would be able to readily identify the problem before it became a more serious issue. Not sure of the implementation of that procedure internationally, though.

The one flat spin I have been a passenger to wasn't that bad. Pilot stated how many rotations they were going to do and at the number, in the direction he wanted, came out of it.
Now it was an aerobatics biplane.

I think flat spins were discussed in my ground school class. That was 30 years ago and I never actually flew.
