Takeoff (climb)

Shortly after takeoff from Farmingdale-Republic Airport, en route for Connecticut, the pilot reported an engine failure and elected to return. Control was lost and the aircraft crashed in the Old Bethpage industrial park about 3 km north of the airport. The pilot was injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

The aircraft departed Jakarta-Soekarno-Hatta Airport runway 25R at 1435LT on a flight to Pontianak. During initial climb, the crew initiated a right turn according to published procedures and continued climbing over the sea after being cleared to climb to FL290. At an altitude of 11,000 feet and at a speed of 284 knots, the aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in the sea of Java about seven km offshore, some five minutes after takeoff. Few debris were found floating on water and the aircraft apparently disintegrated on impact. The accident was not survivable.

The pilot, sole on board, was completing a cargo flight to Cobán. After takeoff from Guatemala City-La Aurora runway 02, while in initial climb, the pilot lost control of the airplane that crashed in trees located in a garden along the 4th Avenue, in the Zone 9 district, approximately 980 metres from the end of runway 02. The aircraft was destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire and the pilot was killed.

After takeoff from Rottweil-Zepfenhan Airport, while climbing, the crew encountered technical problems. The pilot reduced his altitude and attempted an emergency landing in an open field located in Dauchingen, about 15 km southwest of Rottweil Airport. The aircraft landed gear down but and eventually came to rest on a path with its undercarriage and both wings partially torn off. Both occupants were slightly injured.

Shortly after takeoff from Lake Elmo Airport, the pilot encountered an unexpected situation and attempted an emergency landing. The single engine aircraft crash landed in a cornfield located west of the airfield, lost its left wing and came to rest. Both occupants were injured.

Shortly after takeoff from Bogotá-Guaymaral Airport runway 29, while in initial climb, the engine lost power. The aircraft lost height, struck a concrete wall and lost its undercarriage. It then crash landed in a prairie and slid for few dozen metres before coming to rest. All four occupants escaped uninjured.

Shortly after takeoff from Juba Airport runway 31, while climbing, the aircraft lost height and crashed in a prairie located near Referendom, about 4 km northwest of Juba Airport, bursting into flames. The aircraft was destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire. A passenger was seriously injured while seven other occupants were killed. The aircraft was on its way to Aweil with an intermediate stop in Wau, carrying a load of foods and money for wages on behalf of the World Food Programme (WFP). It was reported that the aircraft was loaded with 8 tons of cargo while the maximum allowable would be 5,5 tons.

Shortly after takeoff from runway 01 at Rockford-Greater Rockford Airport, while in initial climb, the aircraft rolled to the left and crashed in flames about 570 feet to the left of the main runway, about 3'600 feet from the runway threshold. The aircraft was totally destroyed by fire and the pilot, sole on board, was killed.

The single engine aircraft completed a humanitarian flight from Juba to Fangak on behalf of the NGO 'Nile Hope'. On board were five passengers and two pilots. During the takeoff roll on a muddy airstrip, the aircraft went out of control, veered off runway and collided with a tree. The right wing was torn off and the aircraft came to rest upside down. Two passengers were slightly injured.
