ATR72-200

The aircraft departed Belém-Val de Cans Airport on a schedule service to Altamira with 47 passengers and 4 crew members on board. The approach for landing in Altamira was completed in VFR mode and the aircraft was stabilized. The touchdown on the runway was smooth, with gradual deceleration, in which only the 'ground idle' was used. After the '70 knots' callout, a strong noise was heard, and the left main gear collapsed with the aircraft deviating to the left. The aircraft veered off runway and came to rest in a grassy area. Among the 51 occupants, one passenger suffered minor injuries.
