On 22 January 2018, the Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Center (Centro de Investigação e Prevenção de Accidentes Aeronáuticos, CENIPA) presented their final report. The conclusion was that there was no shortage of kerosene. The crash was attributed to three major factors:{{cite web|url=http://fab.mil.br/noticias/mostra/31575/SEGURAN%C3%87A%20DE%20VOO%20%E2%80%93%20FAB%20divulga%20resultado%20de%20investiga%C3%A7%C3%A3o%20sobre%20acidente%20com%20aeronave%20PR-SOM|title=FAB divulga resultado de investigação sobre acidente com aeronave PR-SOM|date=22 January 2018|accessdate=30 July 2018|publisher=Força Aérea Brasileira|archive-date=30 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180730141634/http://fab.mil.br/noticias/mostra/31575/SEGURAN%C3%87A%20DE%20VOO%20%E2%80%93%20FAB%20divulga%20resultado%20de%20investiga%C3%A7%C3%A3o%20sobre%20acidente%20com%20aeronave%20PR-SOM|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://www.potter.net.br/media/rf/pt/PRSOM_POR_VERSION_FINAL.pdf|title= Relatório Final A-013/CENIPA/2017|date=16 January 2018|accessdate=30 July 2018|publisher= CENIPA}}
- Bad visual climate conditions. At the time of the crash, the horizontal visibility was 1500 meters and the rainfall was 25 mm/h.
- Cultural practices of the pilots: the investigations found that several pilots who fly in the region relied heavily on their experience and do not follow strict security procedures, including informal practices which inhibit an adequate analysis of the risks involved in this specific landing procedure.
- Spatial disorientation: as a consequence of the bad visibility, the flight curve executed, the low level above the sea and the stress of the pilot, he probably lost control of the plane.
