What happened
While performing a takeoff roll on runway 12 at Campo de Marte AFB, the right engine of the aircraft suffered a sudden loss of power. In response to the engine failure, the crew attempted to abort the takeoff by applying emergency braking.
Despite these efforts, the aircraft could not be halted within the available runway length. The plane overran the end of the strip, where it subsequently collided with a perimeter fence and crossed an adjacent road before finally coming to a stop.
Findings
- All four occupants on board were able to evacuate the aircraft without any injuries.
- While there were no human casualties, the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
- The primary factor in the excursion was the loss of power in the right engine during the initial takeoff phase.
