What happened
During the initial stages of a takeoff roll, the pilot encountered an unforeseen complication. In response to this developing situation, the pilot-in-command elected to terminate the takeoff sequence and initiated emergency braking. Despite these efforts, the twin engine aircraft could not be brought to a halt before the end of the available runway surface.
As a result of the failed stop, the plane exited the paved area and traveled into a nearby ravine. Upon impact with the terrain, the aircraft caught fire. All 19 occupants on board were able to exit the wreckage safely during a rapid evacuation process. While there were no reported fatalities, the aircraft was completely destroyed by the subsequent blaze.
Findings
- The pilot attempted an emergency stop following an unexpected event during the takeoff run.
- The aircraft failed to stop within the remaining runway length, leading to the excursion.
