The twin engine aircraft was performing a flight for the Royal Australian Navy with specialist on board. After takeoff from runway 24, while climbing at 100 feet, the pilot informed ATC about a right engine failure. Immediately, the pilot received the authorization to return to the airport but few minutes later, the aircraft crashed in a wooded area located 300 meters short of runway 12. A passenger died on the crash site while a second passenger died 85 days later. All other occupants were seriously injured. |
