Engine failure during takeoff leads to aircraft crash

No fatalities • Munich-Riem, Germany • Takeoff (climb)

A twin-engine airplane experienced an engine malfunction immediately following liftoff, resulting in a stall and subsequent accident with no fatalities.

What happened

During the initial climb phase of flight, a twin engine airplane experienced a critical mechanical issue. As the aircraft reached the point of liftoff, one of its engines failed to maintain power. This loss of thrust caused the aircraft to lose airspeed and enter a stall condition.

Following the stall, the plane descended and crashed at the departure site. Despite the impact, there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board during the accident.

Findings

Official investigations into the incident focused on the sudden loss of power during the most critical stage of flight. The primary factor identified was an engine failure occurring at takeoff, though the specific underlying reason for the mechanical malfunction remains undetermined.

Probable cause

The accident was caused by an engine failure during the takeoff phase for unknown reasons.
