Takeoff (climb)

While on a night take off from runway 01 at Dakar-Blaise Diagne Airport, the crew encountered hydraulic problems and decided to reject the takeoff procedure. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the airplane overran, rolled into soft ground and came to rest. A fire broke out on the right side of the airplane and was quickly extinguished. All 85 occupants were evacuated, among them 10 were injured. The airplane was supposed to fly to Bamako on behalf of Air Sénégal.

During the takeoff roll on runway 31 at Mohéli-Bandar es Eslam Airport, while at high speed, the crew decided to reject the takeoff procedure and initiated an emergency braking process. Unable to stop on the remaining distance, the airplane overran, contacted bushes and trees, lost its right main gear and came to rest in a wooded area. All 52 occupants were rescued, among them several were injured, some seriously.

After takeoff from runway 20R at Fairbanks Airport, the airplane climbed to the altitude of about 1,700 feet when it rolled to the left. It entered an uncontrolled descent until it crashed in a huge explosion on the south bank of the Tanana River. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire and both crew members were killed. The accident occurred about six minutes after takeoff, apparently following the explosion of one of both left engines.

After takeoff from Ivanovo-Severny AFB, while climbing, the engine n°4 caught fire. The crew decided to return to the base and initiated a circuit in a slight right bank attitude. Few dozen seconds after departure, the engine n°4 detached. The airplane later entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in a wooded area, bursting into flames. All 16 occupants were killed. The crew was en route to the airbase of Plessetsk, Arkhangelsk oblast.

After takeoff from runway 31 at Belo Horizonte-Pampulha-Carlos Drummond de Andrade Airport, the single engine airplane followed a steep climb then entered a right turn when it started to lose altitude. It continued in a right turn descent configuration, apparently to reach runway 13, when it rolled to the left, impacted the ground and crashed in a grassy area located south of runway 13 threshold, bursting into flames. The passenger, a technician external to the Police Department, was injured while both pilots were killed. The airplane was totally destroyed by a post impact fire.

The twin engine airplane crashed into the sea some 1,5 km off the beach of Punta Carola, San Cristóbal Island, Galapagos. The airplane sank while all nine occupants were rescued. It appears that the airplane was en route to Puerto Villamil Airport, Isabela Island, when the accident occurred.

Shortly after takeoff from Fort Smith Airport Runway 30, while in initial climb, the twin engine airplane lost height and crashed in a wooded and snow covered area, bursting into flames. A passenger was seriously injured while six other occupants were killed. The airplane was on an on-demand charter flight to the Diavik Diamond Mine located about 500 km north of Fort Smith.

The airplane was operated on an ambulance flight from Valledupar to Bogotá-Guaymaral Airport, carrying six people, a mother and son, a doctor, a nurse and two pilots. After takeoff from runway 02/20, the airplane reached the altitude of 50 metres then stalled and crashed near trees, bursting into flames. Five occupants were injured and the doctor was killed. The airplane was destroyed by a post crash fire.

The crew of flight JL516 from Sapporo-New Chitose Airport was on a night approach to Tokyo-Haneda Airport Runway 34R when he was informed about traffic holding by taxiway C5. Weather conditions were considered as good. A De Havilland DHC-8-315Q MPA of the Japan Coast Guard was dispatched from Tokyo to Niigata, carrying a crew of six who were on a support mission of the victims of the recent earthquake in the north Peninsula. This crew was instructed by ground ATC to hold short at taxiway C5. After touchdown on runway 34R, the Airbus A350 collided with the Dash-8 that was aligned on the runway centerline. Upon impact, the nose gear of the Airbus was torn off and a violent explosion occurred. The Airbus caught fire, slid for approximately 2,400 meters then veered to the right and came to rest in a grassy area located near taxiway C11, about 200 meters from runway 16L threshold, bursting into flames. All 379 occupants evacuated the airplane, among them 15 were injured. The Airbus was later consumed by fire and totally destroyed. The Dash-8 was also totally destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire. Among its crew of six, only the captain survived, critically injured. The five other crew members were killed. According to preliminary report released by the Japan Minister of Transport, the crew of JL516 have been cleared to land on runway 34R and the crew of the Japan Coast Guard Dash-8 have been instructed to hold short at taxiway C5. It was also reported that the stop bar lights for taxiway C1 to C14 were unserviceable since December 25 as per Notam published.
