Incident Summary
After liftoff from runway 24 at Oslo-Fornebu Airport, the aircraft climbed to a height of 30 feet at a speed of 140 knots. At that point, the stall warning activated. The captain decided to abort the climb and land, but the remaining runway distance of 1,100 meters was insufficient to bring the aircraft to a stop. The aircraft overran the runway and plunged into the adjacent bay.
Occupants and Rescue
All 33 occupants on board were quickly rescued following the accident. No injuries were reported in the source.
Aircraft Damage
The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair as a result of the overrun and submersion in the bay.
Probable Cause
Investigations determined that the aircraft's speed was correct for the phase of flight. The stall warning light was triggered due to an error in the aircraft's computer, which misinterpreted certain parameters transmitted by the Pitot tubes. It was also reported that the aircraft had experienced false stall warnings on several occasions during the days leading up to the accident.
