What happened
During the initial stages of the takeoff roll, the aircraft began skidding and drifted right of the runway centerline. The pilot-in-command attempted to rotate the aircraft; however, because the airspeed had not reached sufficient levels, the plane entered a stall and struck the ground. Following this impact, the aircraft overran the runway area.
As the crew attempted to execute a sharp left turn to avoid an approaching hill, the left wing of the plane made contact with the roof of a house. The collision caused the aircraft to become uncontrollable, resulting in a secondary stall and a crash that ignited a fire. There were three fatalities among the crew members.
Findings
Investigations into the accident highlighted several contributing elements. The primary factor was identified as improper takeoff techniques and incorrect configuration by the flight crew. Additionally, investigators noted that low-altitude turbulence may have played a role in the loss of control. The possibility that the crew mistakenly believed the left engine had failed during the takeoff sequence was also considered a potential factor.
