A Britten Norman Trislander passenger plane suffered a runway excursion at Pauanui Aerodrome - NZUN and partially went through a low boundary fence after aborting take off. Both crew and 11 passengers escaped unhurt.
Aircraft flown off the aerodrome the next day, and observed back in service the following day.
The Transport Accident Investigation Commission (Commission) found that the main reason for the aeroplane not getting airborne was that its centre of gravity (balance) was significantly outside the permissible limits. The pilot’s take-off technique and, possibly, increased resistance from the wheels of the heavy aeroplane on the runway surface were other factors that contributed to the aeroplane over-running the end of the runway.
The Commission also found that the required margin for a safe take-off was not met because the aeroplane was too heavy for the available runway length. This was a reason for the aeroplane not stopping before the runway end after the pilot had rejected the take-off.
