What happened
During the takeoff roll at Dundo Airport, the twin engine aircraft experienced a loss of directional control. The flight crew initially encountered difficulties maintaining the centerline, causing the plane to drift toward the left side of the runway. Shortly thereafter, while traveling at a speed of 190 km/h, the aircraft swung toward the right and exited the paved surface.
As the aircraft traveled across the rough terrain, it became airborne but subsequently struck overhead power cables. This impact led to an aerodynamic stall, causing the aircraft to crash. The accident resulted in six injuries among the crew members, and the aircraft was completely destroyed.
Findings
- The aircraft experienced significant directional control problems during the initial stages of the takeoff roll.
- The sequence of events involved a leftward deviation followed by a rightward veer off the runway.
- Contact with power lines during the excursion caused the aircraft to stall and impact the ground.
