Storyline:
A preliminary report released Friday by Brazil's aviation authorities found ice formation on the wings of the plane that crashed in Sao Paulo state on August 9.

The Brazilian Center for Research and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents (Cenipa), which was tasked with investigating the accident, released its preliminary report into the fatal crash that killed all 62 people on board.

The passenger plane crashed into the backyard of a home in a gated community in Vinhedo, a city in the countryside of Sao Paulo state, about 20 minutes before it was due to land.

The report cited the discovery of ice buildup on the plane's wings but did not mention a definite cause for the accident.

At a press conference, Paulo Mendes Froes, head investigator for Cenipa, used a model plane to illustrate the final moments of the flight.

A video simulation depicting the last three minutes of the flight with key flight data information was also displayed on screen.

Cenipa is not discussing why or how the accident happened, but is focusing solely on presenting plain facts, said Froes.

The report also highlighted that the co-pilot reported excessive ice one minute before the loss of control, but didn't explore the cause of the issue, nor did the crew respond to it.

Friday's findings did not signal an end to the investigation, which could take a whole year, according to Cenipa.

An aviation safety and risk management expert said another key reason for a detailed investigation is to bring closure to the loved ones of the victims, who were given access to the report right before it was released to the public.
