A twin-engine aircraft veered off the runway during its takeoff roll, resulting in significant damage but no injuries.

What happened

While performing the takeoff roll, a twin engine aircraft experienced a sudden deviation to the left. This lateral movement caused the plane to exit the runway boundaries, eventually coming to a stop off the paved surface.

Despite the impact of the excursion, all 14 occupants on board were able to evacuate the aircraft without sustaining any injuries. 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 initial takeoff phase.
  • The primary factor in the excursion was the uncontrolled leftward deviation during the ground roll.

Probable cause

The aircraft veered left and exited the runway during its takeoff roll.
