A twin-engine aircraft crashed approximately 800 meters from the runway following an aerodynamic stall shortly after takeoff.

What happened

During the early stages of flight, a twin engine aircraft experienced a loss of lift while performing its initial climb. The accident occurred in close proximity to the departure point, with the wreckage located roughly 800 meters beyond the end of the runway.

As the aircraft transitioned from takeoff to the climbing phase, it entered a stall condition. This aerodynamic failure led to an uncontrolled descent and subsequent impact with the ground.

Casualties

The accident resulted in three fatalities among those on board. The pilot in command sustained injuries during the event, while the remaining three occupants of the aircraft did not survive the crash.

Probable cause

The aircraft entered an aerodynamic stall during the initial climb phase following takeoff.
