Takeoff (climb)

Shortly after takeoff from runway 05 at Southend Airport, while in initial climb, the twin engine airplane rolled to the left then entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in a grassy area nearby the runway, bursting into flames. The airplane was returning to its base in Lelystad following an ambulance flight from Athens to Southend with an intermediate stop in Pula. All four occupants, two pilots, one doctor and one nurse were killed.

The twin engine airplane departed Youngstown-Warren Airport Runway 32 at 0653LT on a 5,5-hours flight to Bozeman, MT, carrying five passengers and one pilot. After takeoff, while in initial climb, the airplane initiated a left turn then started to descend until it crashed in the backyard of a private property located about 2 km northwest of the airfield. The accident occurred about one minute after liftoff. The airplane was destroyed and all six occupants were killed.

The airplane, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, flight AI171, departed Ahmedabad-Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport on a regular schedule service to London-Gatwick, carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members. After takeoff from runway 23, the airplane climbed to an altitude of 625 feet with the undercarriage still down. Then it started to descend, first in a relative flat attitude, then nosed up (increasing the angle of attack) until it collided with several residential buildings located near Ghoda Camp Road, some 1,500 metres from the runway end, bursting into flames. The airplane was totally destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire. Weather conditions at the time of the accident were considered as good. It appears that the crew issued a mayday call shortly after liftoff. Few hours after the crash, local authorities confirmed that one passenger survived while 241 other occupants were killed as well as 19 people on the ground. 67 other people on the ground were injured. Runway 23 is 3'600 metres long and it seems that the rotation was completed very late. An analysis of the Airport CCTV shows that the airplane ceased to climb about 12 seconds after rotation, and that the final impact occurred some 30 seconds after liftoff. It appears that the RAM Air Turbine (RAT) was deployed at the time of the accident, suggesting issues with engines.

The twin engine airplane departed San Diego-Lindbergh Field International Airport Runway 27 at 1225LT on a flight to Phoenix-Sky Harbor Airport, carrying five passengers and one pilot. After takeoff, while climbing, the pilot was instructed for heading 180 when he reported controllability problems. Shortly later, the airplane showed erratic altitude, speed and heading data before crashing into the Pacific Ocean off Point Loma. Few debris were found floating on water and all six occupants were killed.

Shortly after takeoff from Tullahoma-William Northern Field Airport, while climbing, the airplane experienced an unknown issue, lost height, collided with trees and crashed near the airfield. Upon impact, the left wing and the empennage were torn off while the cockpit was severely damaged. Four people were seriously injured and some others escaped with minor injuries.

Few minutes after takeoff from Caracas-Maiquetía-Simón Bolívar Airport, while climbing to an altitude of 7,000 feet, the airplane entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed into the sea off Caracas. In the afternoon of the next day, debris were found floating on water approximately 11 km north of the airport, at coordinates 10° 42' 14" N 66° 59' 00" W. On June 5, other debris were recovered at coordinates 10° 37' 00" N 66° 59' 15" W. The airplane was totally destroyed and all five occupants were killed.

Based in Jeju, the airplane was dispatched at Pohang Airport to perform a local training flight consisting with touch-and-go manoeuvre. It took off at 1343LT with a crew of four on board.
