We’re still collecting data for this aircraft. Routes appear once we’ve seen it fly enough times.
Just after liftoff, while climbing at low speed, the pilot-in-command made a turn to the right when the airplane stalled and crashed. The aircraft was destroyed and all five occupants were killed. Probable cause (official findings): It is believed that the loss of control was the consequence of a power loss on one engine or maybe both. The cause of the loss of power may be caused a contaminated fuel.
