Air Charter - Germany

Learjet 35

The twin engine aircraft was engaged in a charter flight from Munich to Magnitogorsk and back, with an intermediate stop in Moscow to pick up a Russian navigator. Shortly after takeoff, at a height of about 15 metres, the aircraft banked left and impacted the ground some 30 metres to the left of the runway. Out of control, it rolled for about 325 metres before coming to rest. A pilot was killed while six other occupants were seriously injured.
