Fatal aircraft accident during takeoff

1 fatality • Emiliano Zapata, Mexico • Takeoff (climb)

An aircraft stalled and crashed immediately after liftoff, resulting in one fatality and two injuries among the crew.

What happened

During the initial climb phase of flight, the aircraft experienced an aerodynamic stall shortly after departing the runway. This loss of lift led to a subsequent crash at the departure site. The force of the impact caused significant structural failure, specifically resulting in the right wing being severed from the airframe. Additionally, the propeller from the right-hand engine became detached during the collision, penetrating through the fuselage and into the cockpit area.

Findings

  • The accident resulted in one fatality and two injuries.
  • The pilot sustained severe trauma during the impact and passed away one day after the event.
  • The remaining two occupants, including a company manager, survived the crash with various injuries.
  • The primary factor leading to the crash was an aerodynamic stall occurring at the moment of liftoff.

Probable cause

The aircraft entered an aerodynamic stall immediately following takeoff, leading to a high-impact crash.
