LATAM Flight JJ3858 Airbus A320 Suffers Runway Excursion at Cascavel Airport

LATAM Airlines flight JJ3858 (callsign TAM3858), an Airbus A320 registered PR-MYO, departed Guarulhos Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (SBGR) near São Paulo at 8:09 a.m. local time (11:09 UTC) on August 31, 2026, bound for Cascavel Airport in western Paraná state. According to airlive.net, the aircraft experienced a runway excursion after landing at Cascavel.

ADS-B data reviewed by SkyMeter shows the aircraft lifted off heading east at roughly 111 degrees before executing a series of right turns, swinging south through 192 degrees and then west to approximately 259 degrees as it climbed away from SBGR. The climb was brisk, reaching a peak rate of nearly 6,990 feet per minute, with the aircraft topping out at 38,078 feet roughly 27 minutes into the recorded track. It then held cruise altitude near 38,000 feet for about 15 minutes before beginning a long, gradual descent on a steady westward heading of 257 to 258 degrees.

The descent steepened progressively over the final portion of the track. From a gentle initial rate of a few hundred feet per minute, the recorded vertical speed reached approximately 4,320 feet per minute in a brief spike around 9:27 a.m. local time before moderating. The track ends at 9:28 a.m. local time with the aircraft at 24,618 feet and 285 knots, still descending toward its destination; the full arrival and the excursion itself fall outside the recorded ADS-B coverage.
