Aircraft overrun during takeoff roll

No fatalities • Khaneh, Iran • Takeoff (climb)

A twin-engine aircraft failed to stop during an aborted takeoff, resulting in an excursion from the runway and significant structural damage.

What happened

During the initial stages of a takeoff roll, the captain initiated an emergency braking maneuver after deciding to abort the departure. Despite these efforts, the twin engine aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently within the available runway length. As a result, the plane overran the end of the paved surface.

During the excursion, the aircraft sustained damage when it lost its undercarriage. The movement eventually ceased a few dozen yards beyond the runway boundary. All 12 occupants on board were successfully evacuated from the wreckage without injury.

Findings

The aircraft was determined to be a total loss due to damage sustained during the event. While the incident resulted in no fatalities, the specific motivation behind the crew's decision to terminate the takeoff procedure has not yet been established.

Probable cause

The exact reason for the aborted takeoff remains undetermined.
