Engine failure during takeoff leads to aircraft crash

No fatalities • Cagayán de Oro-Lumbia, Philippines • Takeoff (climb)

An aircraft experienced an engine failure during its initial climb, resulting in a crash near the departure airport and four injuries.

What happened

During the early stages of flight, an aircraft experienced a critical mechanical failure shortly after departing the runway. While the aircraft was performing its initial climb, one of the engines ceased to function properly. This loss of power prevented the aircraft from maintaining its necessary altitude, causing it to descend rapidly.

As the aircraft lost height, it struck the ground in the vicinity of the airport. The impact occurred during the climb phase of the flight. There were four individuals on board at the time of the accident, and all four occupants sustained injuries during the crash.

Findings

  • The primary factor in the loss of altitude was the failure of one engine during the takeoff sequence.

Probable cause

The loss of power from an engine failure during the initial climb phase caused the aircraft to lose altitude and crash.
