What happened
During an aerial demonstration at an airshow located in Oncatitu, an aircraft was performing a takeoff from an open field. During the initial climb, the left wing of the plane made contact with the ground. This impact caused the aircraft to enter a stall, leading to a crash approximately 40 meters away from the initial point of impact. The force of the accident resulted in the loss of the left engine.
Despite the severity of the impact and the subsequent damage to the airframe, there were no casualties among the people on board. All 16 occupants remained uninjured during the event. The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was the left wing striking the ground during the takeoff phase.
