What happened
While performing a takeoff roll at Kacha Airbase, the pilot attempted to initiate rotation; however, the aircraft failed to respond to the control inputs. In response to the lack of aerodynamic response, the captain executed an emergency braking procedure to abort the takeoff.
Despite the attempt to stop, the aircraft could not be halted within the available runway length. The aircraft veered toward the left side of the runway and exited the paved surface, traveling into rough terrain. Upon reaching the uneven ground, the aircraft rolled over and subsequently caught fire.
Findings
- All occupants managed to evacuate the aircraft without any injuries.
- The aircraft was destroyed by fire following the excursion.
