What happened
While operating on runway 25 at Corozal Airport, the pilot of a single-engine aircraft initiated an aborted takeoff. During the takeoff roll, the decision was made to terminate the procedure; however, the aircraft could not be brought to a halt before the end of the runway.
As a result of the insufficient stopping distance, the plane overran the runway perimeter, breached a fence, and eventually collided with several trees. Despite the impact, all 12 occupants on board were able to exit the aircraft without sustaining any injuries. The aircraft itself sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
Findings
- The aircraft was unable to stop within the available runway length following the decision to abandon the takeoff.
