Accident Sequence
During the takeoff roll, the aircraft accelerated and rotated for liftoff. Upon becoming airborne, it assumed an abnormally high nose attitude. The pilot-in-command responded by reducing engine power, at which point the aircraft lost altitude and struck the runway surface, resulting in a hard landing. The aircraft came to rest on the runway. Post-accident examination revealed structural damage beyond economical repair. No occupants were injured.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined the probable cause to be poor flight preparation on the part of the crew, who decided to take off with the aircraft's total weight exceeding the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) by approximately 248 kilograms. Additionally, the center of gravity (CG) was outside the allowable envelope, positioned too far aft, rendering the aircraft uncontrollable after takeoff.
