Accident Summary
A twin-engine aircraft experienced a right roll during liftoff and subsequently crashed, resulting in a post-crash fire that destroyed the airframe. The pilot, who was the sole occupant, suffered slight injuries.
Accident Details
The aircraft was in the takeoff phase when, at liftoff, it rolled to the right and impacted the ground, erupting in flames. The ensuing fire consumed the aircraft completely. The pilot, alone on board, was the only person involved and was reported to have been slightly injured.
Probable Cause and Contributing Factors
According to the official investigation, the probable cause of the accident was a stall during the takeoff run after the pilot attempted to operate the aircraft with known deficiencies in equipment. Several contributing factors were identified: improper maintenance; issues with the exhaust system's external supercharger; failure to attain flying speed; premature liftoff; misuse of or failure to use flaps; a missing waste gate pivot pin (part number 400460-817) on the right supercharger; and a past history of power problems.
Conclusion
The accident resulted in the total loss of the twin-engine aircraft and minor harm to the pilot. The investigation highlighted a stall occurring after liftoff due to pre-existing equipment deficiencies and operational errors.
