What happened
During the initial climb phase of a takeoff from a dusty, unpaved area, the aircraft encountered extremely low visibility caused by airborne dust. During this period of obscured vision, the plane struck a car on the ground.
The impact led to a crash of the aircraft. Despite the severity of the collision with the vehicle and the subsequent impact, there were no casualties reported among the occupants or those involved in the incident.
Findings
- The primary contributing factor was severely limited visibility resulting from thick dust during the takeoff roll.
- The presence of a vehicle in the path of the aircraft during departure contributed to the collision.
