Incident Report
 
655 - DHC-6-300 9N-ABQ Tara Air, Kathmandu

21-Sep-2012 The aircraft's left wing struck rocks while accelerating for take-off at Dolpa Airport, Juphal, Nepal resulting in a runway excursion of approximately 50 metres. The Nepalgunj Civil Aviation Office reports (unconfirmed) damage to the left wing, engine and main gear.

This aircraft was acquired by Vancouver, BC based Gravitas Aviation on 11-May-2012 and has subsequently been undergoing maintenance in Houston. The departure to Little Rock today is perhaps inidicative of it being on delivery to the new lessor.
 
The other former Carson Services DHC-6 N239Z (MSN 239) which was acquired by Gravitas at the same time arrived at Houston-Southwest on 14-May-2012, and is presumably still present there.
