Incident Overview
A multi-engine aircraft was conducting a takeoff on runway 30 at Ashiya Airbase. During the takeoff roll, as the aircraft accelerated to 70 knots, the right engine lost power. The captain decided to abandon the departure and initiated an emergency braking procedure.
Sequence of Events
Unable to stop within the remaining runway length—runway 30 measures 6,000 feet—the aircraft overran the runway end. The undercarriage was lost during the overrun, and the aircraft came to a halt in a grassy area beyond the runway.
Aftermath
All seven crew members evacuated the aircraft safely. The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair.
Probable Cause
The official findings state the probable cause as a loss of power on the right engine for an undetermined reason.
