What happened
During the takeoff phase, the pilot performed standard radio procedures to prepare for departure. The flight departed from runway 25 under instrument meteorological conditions, characterized by the presence of fog and light snow. Shortly after the aircraft became airborne, air traffic controllers lost radar contact with the aircraft.
The plane subsequently struck wooded terrain located approximately two miles south-southwest of the end of runway 25. At the moment of impact, the aircraft was in a steep, nose-down attitude with the left wing low. The force of the collision and a subsequent fire caused the total destruction of the aircraft. There were three fatalities among the occupants.
Findings
Investigations into the accident revealed that there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions contributing to the crash. Additionally, investigators found no evidence that the pilot-in-command suffered from any physical incapacitation prior to the impact.
