No fatalities were reported. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: The aircraft deviated from the runway centerline during the takeoff roll at 80 knots. This summary draws on records from the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives (B3A).
A twin-engine aircraft veered off the runway during its takeoff roll, resulting in significant damage to the airframe but no injuries.
What happened
During the initial stages of takeoff, a twin-engine aircraft experienced a loss of directional control. While accelerating along the runway, the aircraft reached a speed of 80 knots before deviating toward the right side of the pavement. This deviation caused the plane to exit the runway surface and come to a stop.
Despite the impact of the excursion, all 11 occupants were able to exit the aircraft without injury. The incident resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss, as the structural damage was deemed beyond repair.
Findings
The aircraft departed the runway during the takeoff roll.
The excursion occurred once the aircraft reached 80 knots.
The aircraft veered right during the takeoff phase.
Probable cause
The aircraft deviated from the runway centerline during the takeoff roll at 80 knots.
