Premature Landing Gear Retraction During Takeoff (CCCP-11005)

Incident Overview During the takeoff roll, the flight crew inadvertently retracted the landing gear before the aircraft rotated. As a result, the aircraft sank onto its belly and slid for a few dozen meters before coming to a stop. All six crew members on board escaped the incident without injury. The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it beyond repair. ## Probable Cause The official investigation determined that the probable cause of the accident was the premature retraction of the landing gear prior to takeoff. No other contributing factors or specific details regarding the aircraft type, registration, operator, date, or location were provided in the source material.
