What happened
During the early stages of flight from Naha Airport, an aircraft departed via runway 36. While performing the initial climb phase, the plane experienced a significant right-hand bank and subsequently impacted the ocean roughly one kilometer north of the airport perimeter.
The accident resulted in two fatalities and left eleven crew members with serious injuries.
Findings
Investigations indicate that the aircraft suffered a mechanical failure involving the right engine. The loss of power from this engine led to the pilot losing control of the plane during the climb.
