What happened
During the departure phase from Robe Airport, an aircraft experienced a significant mechanical issue shortly after leaving the runway. While the plane was in its climbing phase, the left engine suffered a loss of power, with revolutions dropping to approximately 1,500 rpm. This malfunction triggered intense vibrations throughout the airframe.
In response to the engine failure, the pilot attempted to execute a return to runway 15. However, as it became apparent that the aircraft lacked the performance to reach the runway, an emergency landing was initiated. The plane descended into an open field situated roughly 2 km north of the airport, where it performed a belly landing.
Outcomes
Despite the impact, all seven occupants were able to evacuate the wreckage without injury. While there were no fatalities, the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
