Incident Details
The flight crew, consisting of two student pilots and an instructor, was conducting a local training operation at Yakutsk-Magan Airport. The aircraft was prepared for departure with standard pre-takeoff checks.
Sequence of Events
On the takeoff roll, the crew increased engine power to 85% and released the brakes. After traveling less than 20 meters, the brake block on the left main gear fractured and detached. This caused the left side of the aircraft to drop, and the airplane promptly settled onto its left side.
Aftermath
The crew immediately abandoned the takeoff procedure. The aircraft came to rest in a left-leaning position. Examination revealed that the aircraft had sustained damage beyond economical repair. All three occupants—two student pilots and one instructor—evacuated without injury.
No additional details were provided regarding the aircraft type, registration, or other contributing factors.
