What happened
During the takeoff phase of flight, an aircraft experienced a sudden reduction in altitude immediately following liftoff. As the plane attempted to climb, it lost sufficient height to make contact with the runway surface.
Following the impact with the pavement, the aircraft became uncontrollable and veered away from the designated runway path. The sequence of events concluded when the plane came to a complete stop off the runway.
Findings
- There were no casualties resulting from the incident.
- The primary factor in the excursion was the loss of altitude during liftoff.
