Incident Summary
Aircraft operations on runway 23 were initiated for takeoff. During the takeoff roll, as the aircraft reached a speed of 120 knots, the captain observed an unintended left turn. Despite efforts, the captain was unable to counteract the deviation. Consequently, the takeoff procedure was abandoned and an emergency braking maneuver was attempted.
Sequence of Events
The aircraft could not be stopped within the remaining runway distance. It overran the runway end, losing its undercarriage in the process. The aircraft continued beyond the paved surface and came to rest in a field located 140 meters from the runway end. The impact resulted in the aircraft breaking into three sections.
Injuries and Damage
Among the occupants, four crew members and six passengers sustained serious injuries. The remaining 31 occupants were reported as unhurt. The aircraft was destroyed as a result of the accident.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined that the cause of the accident could not be established with certainty. However, it was reported that a valve on the engine number two remained closed, causing the reverse system to deploy on that engine and the deviation of path during the takeoff procedure.
