Accident Description
The airplane departed from runway 32 after an extended takeoff roll. Following liftoff, the aircraft struggled to climb, maintaining a height of approximately six meters. It subsequently struck trees, houses, and power cables before crashing in a large explosion on a soccer field located about 560 meters beyond the runway end. The impact destroyed the aircraft and several nearby houses and buildings.
Casualties and Damage
All three crew members were killed, along with 110 individuals on the ground. 32 other people sustained injuries, most of them serious. The aircraft disintegrated upon impact, and multiple structures were damaged or demolished.
Weather Conditions
Weather at the time of the accident was considered marginal. However, investigators determined that weather did not contribute to the mishap.
Investigation Findings
The Flight Data Recorder (FDR) was unserviceable at the time of the accident. The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) contained limited information because the main cockpit microphone was inoperative.
Investigators confirmed that the accident was not caused by any engine failure, flight control malfunction, or structural failure. The probable cause was determined to be the consequence of poor flight preparation and incorrect takeoff configuration by the crew, who failed to select the correct takeoff speed.
Contributing factors identified include crew fatigue, wrong interpretation of the takeoff situation, and non-interruption of the takeoff procedure.
