The PAC 750XL taxied out and lined up for take-off with four passengers and cargo on-board.
The pilot lined up towards the far left of the strip. As soon as the aircraft started rolling, the nosewheel and the left main wheel started digging into the surface of the strip. About 20 metres into the roll the nose-wheel, already about 10 em deep into the surface, compressed the soil in front of it to a harder surface causing the nose-wheel fork to snap off. The nose suddenly dropped and the nose landing-gear strut, under the weight of the engine, dug deep into the ground. The propeller subsequently struck the ground and caused the engine, which was still running at take-off power, to abruptly stop. None of the passengers and the pilot were injured and they egressed the aircraft unaided.
