Twin-engine aircraft stall and crash during takeoff

No fatalities • San Borja-Capitán Germán Quiroga Guardia, Bolivia • Takeoff (climb)

A twin-engine airplane experienced an aerodynamic stall immediately following liftoff, resulting in a crash and minor injuries to all occupants.

What happened

During the initial climb phase of flight, a twin-engine aircraft experienced an aerodynamic stall shortly after leaving the runway. The loss of lift caused the plane to descend rapidly, leading to a crash at the takeoff site.

There were four people on board the aircraft at the time of the accident. All occupants sustained slight injuries, but no fatalities were reported following the impact. The aircraft itself suffered significant structural damage and was declared a total loss.

Findings

The specific mechanical or aerodynamic reasons for the stall remain undetermined, as the precise cause of the loss of control during the transition from ground roll to flight is currently unknown.

Probable cause

The exact reason for the aircraft stalling immediately after liftoff has not yet been determined.
