Overall: Thanks for writing this page about an important figure in an under-covered country on Wikipedia! Per your request, the page passes newness, and has good length with neutral wording. With most sources being in Portuguese, I cannot accurately verify they are plagiarism free, so I am AGF. For sources one and two which are in English, however, I did cross check them, and the phrase from source one "on an official visit to Portugal", is a little long to be copied verbatim in the article without using quotation marks. Similarly in source two: the sentence "In July 2022, 47 years after independence, São Tomé's international airport was named after him." is just barely paraphrased to "In July 2022, 47 years after independence, the São Tomé International Airport was renamed after him" in the article, and should also be rewritten. Furthermore, and unless I'm missing something, the crash site in Vila Nova de Gaia does not appear to be stated at all in source one. It should either be removed or have a supporting citation. The hook is cited, but uses the wrong citation. Again, unless I'm missing something, nowhere in the Portuguese source above does it state Xavier was an aerospace engineer, just that he was an engineer. Please replace this source with source two, which does state that he was an aeronautical engineer and not just an engineer. The number of concerns overall makes it hard for me to AGF on the non-English sources, but I'll still do so since you have a lot of DYK experience, and I have confidence you'll get the page up to DYK standards in no time 🙂 Cheers, and thank you again for your work on these under-covered countries on Wikipedia.
