Incident Overview
Date: Tuesday 6 October 1992
Aircraft Type: British Aerospace 3201 Jetstream 32
Owner/operator: British Aerospace
Registration Number: G-SUPR
Location: Glasgow-Prestwick Airport (PIK) –
ÿ United Kingdom
Phase of Flight: Initial climb
Status: Destroyed, written off
Casualties: Fatalities: 2 / Occupants: 2
Component Affected: Aircraft EngineAircraft Engine
Category: Accident
An engine failure occurred during takeoff, resulting in a rapid and uncontrolled climb. The pilot initiated procedures to mitigate the situation, including gear retraction and power application to the reduced-thrust engine. A jetstream caused the aircraft to roll to the right, leading to a ground-level inverted landing.An engine failure occurred during takeoff, resulting in a rapid and uncontrolled climb.

Description
An engine failure was simulated during takeoff. The aircraft climbed steeper than normal with the gear still extended. Ten seconds airborne, the co-pilot was attempting to find out which engine was simulated failed. The pilot reminded the co-pilot about the gear and retracted it. The stall warning horn sounded and the pilot took over control within 2 seconds and added power on the retarded engine. The Jetstream continued to roll to the right and struck the ground inverted.
