What happened
During an aerial demonstration at the Opole-Polska Nowa Wies Airport, an aircraft carrying a total of 25 people experienced a catastrophic failure during takeoff. The flight was operating with three crew members and 22 passengers on board at the time of the incident.
As the aircraft began its ascent following departure, it entered a stall condition. This led to a nose-first impact with the ground, which resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. The accident resulted in 11 fatalities and left 14 injuries among the occupants.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the primary factor was a loss of control during the initial climb, which occurred because the aircraft was operating in an overloaded state.
