SAO PAULO: Pilot error was responsible for the airplane crash that killed nearly 200 people in Sao Paulo last week, the news magazine Veja reported on Saturday.
The magazine, citing investigators studying the cause of the crash, also said that a short runway and a constricted area that gave little room for victims to escape contributed to the high number of casualties.
But the Brazilian air force, which oversees civil aviation and accident investigations, said in a statement that no conclusion had been reached and that it had not leaked any information to the press.
It labelled as "premature and unfortunate" any conclusion about the accident, "as long as the investigations are ongoing."
On July 17, a TAM airline Airbus 320 carrying 187 people overran the runway while landing at Sao Paulo's Congonhas airport, crossed a road and slammed into an airport building.
The death toll will only be known when all victims are identified, but nearly 200 people are believed to have died in the crash. As of Friday authorities had identified 89 of the victims' bodies.
Veja said that investigators found that one of the levers that control the jet's turbines was in the wrong position.
While the left turbine was thrust in reverse and was helping the airplane slow down, the right one was accelerating, according to Veja.
Contrary to earlier reports the plane did not skid on the wet runway, nor did the airplane's brakes malfunction, Veja said.
Key information was also obtained from the airplane's black boxes, the magazine said.
The runway, which had been closed since the accident, reopened Friday and the first flight to land was a TAM aircraft.
Brazil's airways have been in crisis for the best part of a year after September's crash of a Gol airliner in the Amazon jungle that killed all 154 people on board.
