An aircraft experienced a loss of control during its takeoff roll at Ust-Kuyga Airport, resulting in a runway excursion and significant damage to the airframe.

What happened

On the date of the incident, an aircraft was performing a takeoff roll at Ust-Kuyga Airport. During this phase of flight, the pilot lost control of the vehicle, causing it to deviate from the intended path. The aircraft veered toward the right side of the runway before eventually coming to a complete stop.

Despite the severity of the excursion, there were no casualties among those on board. All 27 occupants managed to evacuate the aircraft without sustaining any injuries. However, the impact and subsequent movement resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss, as it sustained damage that was beyond repair.

Findings

Investigations into the event concluded that the primary factor was a loss of directional control during the takeoff sequence. The specific underlying reason for this deviation from the runway centerline remains undetermined.

Probable cause

The aircraft experienced an unexplained loss of directional control during its takeoff roll.
