Overweight? Out of CG? Stalled? Too slow? What do you all think?
Hard to tell from that. I don't understand Spanish and wasn't sure I
understood the video. The first part looked to be from after the crash
when they were treating the people, yet the airplane looked to be in too
good of condition to have survived the crash that was show later in the
video, especially given the fire. The airplane looked to be right wing
heavy and then it appeared that a lot of left rudder was applied to try
to raise the wing.
The airplane seemed to get off the ground reasonably quickly and it
climbed well out of ground effect so I wouldn't immediately suspect it
being overweight. I couldn't make out the position of the elevator
given the poor video quality. If it was an aft CG problem, one would
expect to see full down elevator to try to lower the nose, but I
couldn't tell if that was the case at all.
Do you have any further information as to what the cause was?
