What happened
While performing the takeoff roll, the captain opted to abort the procedure for reasons that remain undetermined. Following this decision, the pilot applied emergency braking to halt the aircraft. Despite these efforts, the aircraft could not stop within the available runway length and subsequently overran the pavement.
During the excursion, the aircraft lost its undercarriage and traveled an additional 218 meters beyond the end of the runway before coming to a complete stop. Although the aircraft sustained significant damage and was declared a total loss, all 46 occupants managed to evacuate the vessel without sustaining any injuries.
Findings
- The primary factor in the incident was the unexplained decision to initiate emergency braking during the takeoff phase.
