Accident Overview
A local training flight operating at Cairo International Airport ended in a fatal crash when the aircraft banked sharply to the right shortly after liftoff and impacted the runway shoulder. The aircraft was destroyed in the accident, resulting in the deaths of all three crew members on board.
Flight Details
The crew consisted of an instructor, a captain, and a copilot undergoing supervision. They were performing a series of touch-and-go landings as part of the training. After completing five successful touch-and-goes, the crew initiated a sixth maneuver. During this maneuver, the pilot under training was required to execute a full stop on the runway, then increase power and commence a takeoff with one engine inoperative.
Following liftoff, while climbing to an altitude of approximately 50 meters, the aircraft banked to the right, reaching a 90-degree angle. It subsequently crashed by the runway shoulder. The aircraft was destroyed, and all three crew members sustained fatal injuries.
Probable Cause
Official investigation findings determined that the pilot-in-command failed to observe proper takeoff procedures and adopted an incorrect takeoff configuration. Additionally, the lack of adequate supervision on the part of the instructor and the captain was identified as a contributing factor to the accident.
