Emergency Landing in Campos Amarais After Bird Collision with Small Airplane Mobilizes Firefighters; CENIPA Investigates and Pilot Escapes Unharmed.
An emergency landing occurred on Wednesday afternoon (18) at Campos Amarais State Airport in Campinas (SP) after a small aircraft collided with a bird during flight.
The aircraft, with only the pilot on board, experienced a failure in the front landing gear and landed using only the lateral gears.
Despite the tension, the pilot escaped unharmed and the operation was completed successfully.

EU Aviation Sector Calls For Immediate Review Of New Border Control System
The incident mobilized teams from the airport and the Fire Department, who monitored the entire maneuver as a precaution.
The Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents initiated technical procedures and authorized the runway’s release.
Landing Gear Failure Required Special Procedure
The concessionaire Rede VOA reported that the aircraft involved was a Baron 58 model, registration PR-FET.
After the collision with the bird, the front landing gear malfunctioned, prompting the pilot to declare an emergency.
The pilot executed a controlled landing using only the lateral gears.
This type of maneuver requires precision and training, as the aircraft must touch the runway evenly to avoid structural damage.
Even with the failure, the pilot maintained total control of the airplane until it came to a complete stop.
Safety Operation Reinforced Service in Campos Amarais
Ground teams positioned themselves along the runway during the emergency landing to act quickly if needed.
The Fire Department of Campinas also monitored the operation following safety protocols.
The movement at the airport was temporarily impacted until the aircraft was removed.
Shortly after the initial procedures, the administration released the runway for regular flights.
Thus, the concessionaire confirmed that the airport did not suffer structural damage nor posed a risk to other aircraft.
CENIPA Investigates Causes of Bird Collision
CENIPA is conducting the technical analysis of the case, as required by the protocol for aeronautical emergencies.
Thus, the investigation seeks to identify the causes of the collision and potential contributing factors.
This work is not punitive in nature.
The agency uses the data to improve prevention measures and operational safety.
Experts highlight that bird strikes occur more frequently during takeoffs and landings, when aircraft fly at low altitude.
Bird Risk Requires Constant Management at Airports
A collision with a bird can damage engines, windshields, and landing systems.
In the case of the airplane in Campos Amarais, the impact compromised the front gear.
Therefore, airports maintain ongoing wildlife management programs to reduce the presence of birds near runways.
Even so, the risk never completely disappears.
Pilots train regularly to handle this type of emergency and follow standardized procedures to ensure flight safety.
Pilot Completed Landing Safely
The pilot flew the aircraft with total control until the final stop and did not suffer any injuries.
Thus, the coordinated action among air traffic control, ground teams, and firefighters ensured an outcome without incidents.
Operations Normalized After Airplane Removal
After the aircraft was removed and the initial procedures of CENIPA were completed, the airport resumed operations normally.
Thus, Rede VOA reported that it will continue to cooperate with authorities during the investigation.
Then the episode reinforces the importance of safety protocols and the preparation of teams to handle unexpected situations in aviation.
