What happened
On a flight departing from the Q5 A-103 Oil Field toward Benghazi, a single-engine aircraft lost control during its initial climb. The incident occurred approximately 350 km southeast of Benghazi, roughly one minute after the plane had departed the airfield.
The impact resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft. Both members of the crew were killed in the accident.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the loss of control was caused by improper flight preparation by the crew. Specifically, the pilots failed to complete the required pre-takeoff checklist and neglected to remove a system that was obstructing the movement of the left wing's aileron.
