What happened
During operations at Chu Lai Airbase, the flight crew initiated a takeoff sequence while operating with one engine inoperative. During the climb, the aircraft experienced a loss of airspeed resulting in a stall. This led to a crash that resulted in the total destruction of the plane.
There were no fatalities during the accident; however, all five crew members sustained minor injuries.
Findings
The investigation determined that the primary factor in the accident was an operational error by the crew, specifically the decision to proceed with the takeoff despite the engine being non-functional.
