What happened
During a nighttime departure from an unlit grass runway, a twin engine airplane encountered a catastrophic accident. As the aircraft began its initial climb, it struck several trees, which subsequently led to a crash and an intense fire at the scene.
There were two fatalities recorded in the incident, as both occupants of the aircraft perished in the wreckage. The accident occurred during the takeoff phase of flight while operating from a non-illuminated field.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the primary factor was the loss of directional control by the pilot during the early stages of the ascent. This failure to maintain the proper flight path caused the aircraft to deviate from the runway area and collide with the surrounding vegetation.
