The panel is expected to bring together several key figures to try to prevent a repeat of the deadly crash north of Sao Paulo.
Brazil's Congress has announced the formation of a committee to oversee the investigation into a plane crash earlier this month that killed 62 people.
Last week, House Speaker Arthur Lira authorized the creation of a 37-person committee to investigate an investigation by Cenipa, an agency that investigates aviation accidents.
The House is expected to decide who to call to speak before the panel on Tuesday.
“Our intention is not to carry out a witch hunt,” said MP Nelsinho Padovani. “We want to propose measures to ensure that this does not happen again.”
The tragic incident, in which an ATR 72-500 aircraft operated by regional airline Voepass crashed in the town of Vinhedo, about 80 kilometres north of Sao Paulo, is Brazil's deadliest aviation accident in more than a decade.
Padovani told Reuters news agency that the committee is expected to call on figures such as Voepass president Jose Luiz Felicio Filho, Cenipa director Marcelo Moreno and the head of ANAC, Brazil's civil aviation regulator, Tiago Sousa Pereira, to speak before the panel. Those invited to speak are not obliged to appear before the committee.
Although Cenipa is expected to release preliminary results of its investigation on September 6, the congressional committee will hold hearings through December and hopes to issue a report in February.
The circumstances leading up to the August 9 crash remain unclear, with videos of the aftermath showing burning debris from the plane strewn across the ground.
Some experts have suggested that the crash could have been a result of ice building up on the plane's wings, causing the pilot to lose control.
There have been several similar incidents in the past when ATR aircraft developed ice build-up on their wings.
“At this time, there is no further comment we can add as the story develops,” an ATR spokesperson said of the committee, adding that they “continue to monitor the situation closely.”
The plane was heading to Sao Paulo from Cascavel airport in the southern state of Paraná.
