What happened
During the initial climb phase following takeoff, a single engine airplane experienced significant difficulty maintaining altitude. The aircraft began oscillating with left and right rolls before ultimately entering a stall. This sequence led to a crash located near the terminus of the runway.
There were 22 occupants on board at the time of the accident. While there were no fatalities, all individuals sustained injuries. The impact resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss due to damage beyond repair.
Findings
Investigations into the accident revealed that the aircraft was operating significantly over its maximum takeoff weight. The plane was carrying 20 passengers, which exceeded the certified capacity of 12 seats by eight individuals. This excessive weight was a primary factor in the aircraft's inability to gain sufficient height during the climb.
