Honduras' Agencia Hondurena De Aeronautica Civil (AHAC) have opened an investigation into the incident.
Passengers reported the right hand engine caught fire.
On Aug 22nd 2017 Honduras' AHAC released their final report in Spanish concluding the probable cause of the serious incident was:
the vibrations and the configuration warning that the crew felt and saw was caused by the burst of tyre #1 of the left main gear, that was observed worn, and the brake which was found outside limits and in a condition not acceptable for use (flush) as required by the aircraft maintenance manual [cause].
The configuration warning was caused by the vibration of the aircraft before V1 [cause].
The maneouver by the crew to turn the aircraft by 180 degrees caused the aircraft to depart the runway [contributing factor].
The AHAS reported that the crew had determined V1 at 122 KIAS, Vr at 127 KIAS and V2 at 128 KIAS. The captain (43, ATPL, no hours provided) was pilot monitoring, the first officer (39, CPL, 5,523 hours total, no hours on type provided) was pilot flying. The aircraft was cleared for takeoff from runway 02. While accelerating through 110 KIAS the crew felt a vibration of the airframe and received a CONFIG warning. The captain assumed control of the aircraft and rejected takeoff using brakes and maximum reverse, however, sensing very poor deceleration insufficient to stop the aircraft before the end of the runway decided to attempt to turn the aircraft around by 180 degrees (ground loop the aircraft), the aircraft went off the right side of the runway as result. After the aircraft came to a stop the engines were shut down. There were no injuries.
The aircraft sustained damage to the left main tyres (with #1 burst) and damage to the right hand propeller.
