Descripción:
TABSO Flight 101 was a scheduled passenger service from Sofia, Bulgaria to Berlin, East Germany (now Germany) with en route stops at Budapest, Hungary and Prague, Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic).
The aircraft departed Budapest at 10:46 GMT. Weather at Prague had deteriorated, so the crew diverted to Bratislava where the aircraft landed at 11:58 GMT. Weather at Prague improved and the flight took off from runway 31 at 15:28 GMT.
According to the clearance the flight was turn right after takeoff and to climb to 300 m altitude while heading to the OKR beacon, followed by a further climb to 5100 m.
Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft crashed into a wooded mountain slope at 420 m amsl, which is 288 m above airport level.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The commission could not definitely establish the cause of the IL-18 (LZ-BEN) aircraft.
The Commission assumed that the most probable cause of the accident was insufficient evaluation of terrain relief and weather conditions in the Bratislava Airport control zone by the aircraft crew and lack of adaption of the flight to these conditions."
