What happened
During a departure attempt, the flight crew attempted to compensate for a twelve-minute delay by initiating takeoff procedures from an intersection rather than the full length of the runway. Prior to this maneuver, air traffic control had issued a warning to the crew regarding the recent departure of a Boeing 707 from the same runway.
Shortly after the aircraft achieved liftoff and entered the initial climb phase, the flight became unstable. The aircraft subsequently entered a stall and crashed. The accident resulted in three fatalities, including both pilots and one passenger, while 11 other occupants sustained injuries, some of which were classified as serious.
Findings
Investigations concluded that the crew lost control of the aircraft due to wake turbulence generated by the preceding Boeing 707. The incident was further compounded by the crew's failure to heed the specific warnings provided by air traffic controllers regarding runway activity.
