What happened
During a local training mission operating out of Manston-Kent Airport, the crew of a twin engine aircraft initiated an aborted takeoff. While the aircraft was in its takeoff roll, the captain elected to terminate the procedure. However, the momentum of the aircraft prevented it from coming to a halt within the available runway length.
As a result of the overrun, the aircraft exited the paved surface, causing the undercarriage to separate from the airframe. The plane eventually came to a stop on its belly. Although the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it beyond repair, all three crew members were successfully rescued without reported injuries.
Findings
At this time, the specific motivation behind the captain's decision to interrupt the takeoff roll is unknown.
