What happened
During a local training mission, an aircraft experienced a critical mechanical issue shortly after rotation. As the plane was in its initial climb phase, the engine ceased functioning properly, leading to a loss of power.
Unable to maintain altitude following the failure, the aircraft descended back toward the airfield and performed a crash landing on the runway. The impact resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair.
Findings
- There were four injuries reported among the crew members involved in the flight.
- The primary factor identified in the accident was an engine failure occurring just after the aircraft left the ground.
