- Date: July 8, 2023
- Aircraft: PZL-Mielec AN-2
- Location: Vårgårda, Västergötland, Sweden
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: A robust method for takeoff performance calculation was not applied, so the flight started without conditions for a safe takeoff. The required distance exceeded the available distance (SHK).
A Swedish An 2 took off from a field at Tumberg without a performance calculation and hit trees at the end of the field. The pilot and four passengers were uninjured. The SHK found the required takeoff distance exceeded the available distance.
