The aircraft was operating a cargo flight from East Midlands Airport to Aberdeen Airport. During the departure preparations, an incorrect load sheet was used to input figures for the takeoff performance calculation and so the aircraft was approximately 10 tonnes heavier than anticipated. During the takeoff the aircraft tail struck the ground damaging the tail skid and a drainage mast. No personnel were injured.
