Takeoff (climb)

Following a night takeoff from Ngara Airstrip, the twin engine aircraft struck obstacles with its left wing, lost height and crashed, bursting into flames. The pilot, sole on board, was slightly injured and the aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire.

The aircraft was engaged in a local training flight at New Delhi-Indira Gandhi Airport, carrying one instructor and three trainee pilots. Five circuits and landings were completed uneventfully and during the sixth touch-and-go exercice, after take off from runway 28, the aircraft took a left turn and crashed on the international apron. The aircraft collided with an Aeroflot Ilyushin II-86 registered RA-86119 that was parked on the apron, bay n°45. Both aircraft were destroyed by fire. All four crew members on board the Boeing 737 were killed as well as four people on board the II-86 and one on the ground.

During the takeoff roll, at a speed of 170 km/h, the aircraft deviated to the right and collided with a snow bank. It cartwheeled and came to rest. While all 53 occupants evacuated safely, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Witnesses on the ground reported that the engines sounded normal while the airplane was taxiing to takeoff. After takeoff witnesses reported seeing white smoke trailing the left engine. The airplane was observed to bank to the left with a bank angle of about 90°. The airplane then pitched nose down, descended, and collided with trees and the ground. Examination of the left engine oil separator from the turbocharger assembly revealed that a section of pipe near a flange which is connected to the turbocharger oil outlet failed due to fatigue. There was no other failure or malfunction noted with the left or right engines and propellers. The mixture control arm on the left engine fuel control unit was found in the 'off' position. Additionally, the fuel selectors and magneto switches were also found in the 'off' position. A pilot-rated passenger occupied the left forward seat.

After takeoff from Tver-Migalovo AFB, while climbing, the crew reported control problems. The aircraft rolled to the right and crashed near Antonovo, 16 km southwest of Tver AFB. Three occupants were seriously injured while seven others were killed.

During initial climb, the twin engine aircraft went out of control and crashed, killing both pilots.

The twin engine aircraft departed Mount Hagen Airport on a cargo flight to Kamusi, carrying two passengers, one pilot and a load of vegetables. After takeoff, while climbing to a height of about 100 feet, the engine lost power. At a speed of 50 knots, the pilot attempted an emergency landing when the aircraft struck the ground, rolled for about 80 metres and collided with rocks. All three occupants were slightly injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

Shortly after takeoff from Coron-Francisco B. Reyes Airport, while climbing in poor weather conditions, the twin engine aircraft went out of control and crashed. Both occupants were killed. The aircraft was on its way to Maila, carrying a load of lobsters and crabs.

Caught fire while taking off from Vorogovo. All 16 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was destroyed.

Following an uneventful flight from Saint Louis, a Twin Otter operated by Air Sénégal was cleared to descend to Dakar-Yoff Airport and was instructed to maintain 3,000 feet over YF VOR. At the same time, the NAMC YS-11 departed Dakar-Yoff Airport on a regular schedule flight to Banjul. Registered C5-GAA, the aircraft was carrying 34 passengers and a crew of four. Its pilots were instructed to climb via radial 140 and maintain the altitude of 2,000 feet while over YF VOR. When both aircraft reached the YF VOR, they collided. While the crew of the NAMC was able to return to Dakar and land safely despite the left wing was partially torn off, the Twin Otter entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in the sea few km offshore. All three occupants were killed.
