A twin-engine aircraft crashed shortly after departing from an air base in Turkey during a training flight, resulting in two fatalities.

What happened

During a local training mission, a twin engine aircraft departed from the Malatya-Borenköy AFB. Shortly after the takeoff phase of the flight, the aircraft experienced an aerodynamic stall. This led to a subsequent crash at the airfield vicinity.

There were 2 fatalities involving the crew members on board. The occupants of the aircraft were performing routine training maneuvers when the incident occurred.

Findings

Preliminary details indicate that the aircraft entered a stall following its departure from the runway, which directly led to the loss of control and the subsequent impact.
