What happened
While performing the takeoff roll on runway 08, the crew identified irregular engine parameters on the right-hand engine, suggesting a potential malfunction. Upon verification of the engine issue, the captain initiated an aborted takeoff procedure.
Despite the rejection of the takeoff, the twin-engine aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently to remain on the paved surface. The aircraft overran the end of the runway and struck a termite mound. The sequence of events concluded when the plane came to a halt approximately 140 metres beyond the runway boundary.
There were no injuries reported among the 13 occupants on board. However, the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
Findings
- The primary factor in the excursion was the inability to stop the aircraft within the remaining runway length following the engine anomaly.
