What happened
During the afternoon, the flight crew performed an unplanned landing on a highway rather than utilizing the pre-designated landing area. Following this arrival, the crew attempted a subsequent departure from the roadway without conducting a proper assessment of the local environmental conditions or surface suitability.
The aircraft proceeded to accelerate along the highway for approximately 250 meters before achieving liftoff. Shortly after leaving the ground, at an altitude/distance of roughly 37 meters from the takeoff point, the plane struck an earth mound and a gas pipeline. The impact resulted in a crash at the scene.
Findings
- The crew failed to evaluate specific surface conditions prior to the second takeoff attempt.
- The decision to take off from a highway led to the collision with ground obstacles.
