The owners of the aircraft received a Special Flight Permit on 31 May 2002 for the purpose of ferrying the aircraft from Vereeniging to Lanseria in order to have a Mandatory Periodic Inspection carried out on it. According to the pilot he was unable to gain altitude after take-off and the aircraft impacted the ground in a tail low attitude, 400 m from the end of Runway 03. The pilot escaped with only a small laceration above his right eye. The investigation revealed that both the turbo-chargers was not operational during the take-off, causing the aircraft's engines not to produce the required power. The aircraft was due for an MPI as the previous MPI had been certified more than a year ago on 18 May 2001 although only 8 hours were flown since that MPI was certified. PROBABLE CAUSE: The turbo chargers of both engines were stationary (seized) at the time of the accident. This caused the aircraft’s engines not to produce full power during the take-off. The aircraft was unable to attain a positive rate of climb on the reduced power output of the engines and crashed in the over-run area of the runway.
