What happened
During a cargo operation involving the transport of 1,930 kilograms of fish, an incident occurred during the takeoff roll. The flight was carrying four crew members and five passengers at the time of the event. Before departure, the crew permitted unauthorized passengers to board the aircraft and included additional cargo that had not been properly weighed.
As the aircraft accelerated, the captain determined that a successful takeoff would not be possible. In response, an aborted takeoff procedure was initiated with emergency braking maneuvers. However, there was a delay in the application of brakes by two seconds, followed by a seven-second delay in reducing the speed lever. Because the thrust reversers were activated too late, the aircraft could not stop within the available runway length. The aircraft overran the pavement and eventually stopped 200 meters past the end of the runway. The incident resulted in one injury among the passengers, while the remaining eight occupants were unharmed. The aircraft sustained irreparable structural damage.
Findings
Investigations into the accident revealed that the crew did not properly prepare for the flight. A primary contributing factor was that the aircraft was overloaded, which caused the center of gravity to shift too far forward. The investigation also noted that the crew was aware of the weight discrepancies prior to attempting takeoff.
