Accident Sequence
On an unspecified date, an aircraft departed from Bagdarin Airport en route to Romanovka. The crew, under unknown circumstances, hurried the departure. The captain instructed the copilot to accelerate the takeoff procedure. Immediately after the eight passengers boarded, the crew started the engine, completed taxi, and entered the runway. Following a takeoff run of 110 meters, the copilot initiated rotation. The aircraft climbed to a height of one meter, continued for about 30 meters, then banked left, struck the ground, and crashed. Both pilots and one passenger were killed; the other seven occupants sustained injuries. The aircraft was destroyed.
Investigation
The investigation determined that the loss of control after rotation resulted from an error by the crew: they failed to remove a chock that was blocking the ailerons on the ground. The captain had decided to expedite the departure for unknown reasons, leading him to skip the pre-departure checklist and start the engine and taxi without a visual inspection of the aircraft.
Probable Cause
For unknown reason, the captain decided to hurry the departure from Bagdarin Airport. Thus, he failed to follow the pre-departure checklist and started the engine and the taxi procedure without making a visual check of the airplane. Investigations determined that the loss of control that occurred after rotation was the consequence of an error on part of the crew who failed to remove a chock that was blocking the ailerons on ground.
