What happened
While performing a takeoff roll at Bogotá-El Dorado Airport, the aircraft experienced a mechanical failure involving the left main landing gear. Following the initial failure, the aircraft slid along the runway surface for several dozen meters. During this sequence, the right main gear also collapsed, causing the aircraft to come to rest on its belly.
Although the aircraft sustained damage beyond repair, there were no injuries reported among the three crew members on board. The incident concluded on the runway without further complications.
Findings
- The primary sequence of events began with the failure of the left main gear during the takeoff phase.
- The subsequent collapse of the right main gear led to the aircraft sliding on its fuselage.
