What happened
While operating out of Sebha Airport, an aircraft was engaged in its takeoff roll when the captain determined that the procedure should be aborted. At approximately V1 speed, the pilot executed an emergency braking maneuver to halt the vehicle.
Despite these efforts, the aircraft could not stop before reaching the end of the runway. The plane overran the paved surface and subsequently caught fire. While the incident resulted in zero fatalities or injuries among the occupants, the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
Findings
- The crew successfully evacuated the aircraft without injury.
- The primary factor in the excursion was the inability to stop within the available runway distance following the decision to abort the takeoff.
