What happened
Following the completion of scheduled agricultural spraying operations, the crew initiated an unauthorized local flight. During this period, five additional individuals were permitted to board the aircraft.
As the plane began its initial climb immediately after departing the runway, the aircraft experienced a loss of airspeed and entered a stall. This led to a crash that resulted in the aircraft bursting into flames. The impact and subsequent fire destroyed the plane entirely. The incident resulted in five fatalities and two injuries among the seven people on board.
Findings
Investigations into the accident identified that the primary reason for the crash was that the aircraft speed was insufficient during the climb phase. Additionally, reports indicated that all seven occupants of the aircraft were under the influence of alcohol at the time of the flight.
