What happened
During the departure phase from Bosaso-Bender Qaasim Airport, an aircraft experienced a mechanical failure immediately following takeoff. While the plane was performing its initial climb, the left engine ceased functioning properly. This loss of power led to an aerodynamic stall, causing the aircraft to strike the runway surface and subsequently crash.
As a result of the impact, all 11 occupants sustained injuries. The aircraft itself suffered damage that rendered it a total loss.
Findings
Investigations into the accident identified several contributing elements. The primary reason for the engine failure was determined to be water contamination within the fuel supply. Additionally, the crew faced significant operational challenges as they were unable to sustain a sufficient rate of climb due to the combination of high aircraft weight and elevated outside air temperature (OAT) at the time of the incident.
