What happened
A flight departing from Linz-Hörsching Airport toward Stuttgart, intended as a taxi flight, was involved in an accident during its departure from runway 27. The aircraft, a twin engine aircraft, was carrying two pilots and five passengers at the time of the incident.
As the aircraft reached a speed of 105 knots, the crew initiated the rotation. Upon leaving the ground, the aircraft entered a high nose attitude characterized by an excessive angle of attack. This maneuver caused the plane to roll toward the left side. During this roll, the left propeller and the left gear door made contact with the runway surface, with the right propeller striking the ground shortly thereafter.
As the airspeed decreased, the aircraft entered a stall and performed a crash landing on the runway. The aircraft traveled a distance of 2,752 metres past the runway threshold before coming to a stop. All seven people on board were successfully evacuated from the wreckage. There was one passenger with serious injuries, while no fatalities were reported. The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it beyond repair.
Findings
- The aircraft experienced an excessive angle of attack immediately following liftoff.
- The sequence of events led to the propellers and gear door striking the runway surface.
