A de Havilland Canada DHC-2T Turbo Beaver, registration SE-KKD, was destroyed when it was involved in a takeoff accident at Örebro-Bofors Airport (ORB/ESOE), in Örebro County, Sweden. The pilot and eight skydivers were all fatally injured.
The intention of the flight was to drop eight parachutists from an altitude of 1,500 metres.
After take-off, the aircraft climbed to an altitude of between 400 and 500 feet above the ground before changing course by 180 degrees to the left and descending at a steep angle to the ground. According to witnesses, the aircraft turned around quickly and dived with a 45-degree nose down.
During the impact, the landing gear was broken off, after which the aircraft skidded on its belly 50 metres straight ahead and began to burn. The flight lasted 46 seconds.
Causes/Contributing Factors:
Control of the aircraft was likely lost in connection with the wing flaps being retracted in a situation where the stick forces were high due to an abnormal elevator trim position, while the aircraft was unstable due to being tail-heavy and abnormally trimmed. The low altitude was not sufficient to regain control of the aircraft.
The cause of the accident was that several safety slips occurred in the operation, which resulted in that the safety margin was too small for a safe flight.
