What happened
While performing a takeoff roll at Salerno Air Force Base, the pilot-in-command initiated an aborted takeoff procedure. During this maneuver, the aircraft became unstable and moved out of its intended path. The aircraft subsequently veered off the runway surface and came to a stop.
As a result of the excursion, the aircraft sustained damage that was classified as beyond repair. There were no injuries reported among the occupants during the incident.
Findings
- The specific reasons for the decision to abandon the takeoff procedure remain undetermined.
- The loss of control led to the aircraft exiting the runway.
