Embraer ERJ 135/140 in São José dos Campos. Has operated for American Airlines.

Vuelopedia is a work in progress: it currently holds about 30% of the information we expect to have by the third quarter of 2027. Although we use only official, highly reliable sources, some aircraft data and history may still contain errors or inaccuracies. We work hard to clear every anomaly from the records using specialized verification tools.

Accident at Dallas, Texas
On May 27, 2008, the Embraer 140 aircraft (registration N816AE), was involved in an accident at Dallas, Texas (United States), leaving 1 injured. Source: the NTSB (United States).
What happened
The flight was in smooth air for almost the whole way to Dallas. About 40 nautical miles west of the Bowie VOR, at 17,000 feet and just as it was passing over a small cloud, the aircraft received a sharp jolt of turbulence. The autopilot disconnected and the crew immediately re-engaged it. During that episode, an elderly passenger fell to the floor near the lavatory and fractured an ankle.
