Aha! And once again we have the ridiculous situation where we are forced, ad nauseum, to try and explain to these "non-pilots" what happens in the real world.
Who asked you to explain us anything? We, Brazilians, are just reporting you NTSB/CENIPA conclusions published by the newspaper, and it seems that they don’t agree with you. And, it seems that many of you, as PBL ("I don't necessarily like what I read, but that is not to do with you, of course. Please keep us informed."), like to know them in advance. You don't need to loose your time if you don't want.

Ah ! so it does has failures which are not exclusively technical ?
Yes, there is a lot of them, such as:

"
(...)
5. The Air Traffic Control radiocommunication system, from an exclusively technical aspect, did not present failures, because other aircraft that flew over the region of the accident, including some close to the Legacy N600XL, did not have any communication problems; that the Legacy did not manage to communicate with ACC-Brasilia is linked to the use of differing frequencies on the part of the pilots and of some foreseen frequencies not being programmed in the console that controlled the Sector in which the aircraft flew;
6. The communications problems between controllers and pilots that occurred when the Legacy aircraft was cleared for takeoff, at the São José dos Campos Aerodrome, were not due to the low technical quality of the transmission, nor to the incorrect or deficient use of the English language in communication with the
pilots: it was, essentially, due to the incorrect form in which the content was transmitted."



Unfortunately, their cause is not helped by the "non-pilots" who are trying to persuade us that they somehow know better than us how to fly a clearance.
The point is how a real pilot here deals with an undoubtly wrong clearance, and not persuade you of anything. We apologyse, if this is what you are thinking.
