What happened
While performing the takeoff roll, the aircraft was impacted by an unexpected crosswind gust reaching speeds of 28 knots. This atmospheric disturbance triggered a premature liftoff before the necessary rotation speed had been achieved. Following this early ascent, the aircraft entered a stall condition and made contact with the runway surface.
The momentum of the aircraft caused it to veer off the designated runway area. The sequence concluded when the plane came to a stop with its right main landing gear partially collapsed. Although the aircraft sustained damage beyond repair, all five occupants managed to evacuate the vessel without injury.
Findings
- A sudden crosswind gust of up to 28 knots disrupted the takeoff sequence.
- The primary factor in the accident was the premature liftoff resulting from the wind gust.
