The pilot took off from the airport with three passengers on board. As the aircraft lifted off, it struck a fence at the end of the grass runway. The flight continued towards Bodø. Before landing, the aircraft was visually inspected by the crew of another aircraft. They did not see any major damage that would present challenges during landing in Bodø, but they observed what seemed to be a piece of rope attached to the tail section of the aircraft. When the commander was made aware of this, he was able to see from his position in the cockpit, that a length of barbed wire had made a cut approx. 15 cm deep into the left horizontal stabilizer.
The commander made a normal approach and landing. After parking, eight meters of barbed wire were found stuck on the stabilizer. In addition, there were visible damage to the left undercarriage and scratch marks under the belly of the aircraft.
The Accident Investigation Board believes that the pilot was not attentive enough during the departure from Engeløy. When departing on grass runways, or other surfaces with high rolling resistance, the nose should be raised slightly so that the wings begin to lift early during the departure. A higher nose position will also reduce the rolling resistance to the nose wheel. Particularly in view of the warning in the Aerodrome Information that the roll resistance can be high at times at Engeløy aerodrome, pilots should be extra focused on correct departure technique when departing from this aerodrome.
