All the engines were working correctly on take-off. As reported at the time the pilots tried to reduce from take-off power to cruise power and the engines at first refused to respond and then all went down to idle. The pilots tried to increase power but only one of the engines would respond, and the aircraft hit an electricity pylon just short of the airfield. The crash was at the time blamed on a "software error" in the engine control system, which had been modified to meet a requirement of the Turkish Air Force for which this aircraft had been destined.
Software problem. 3 of the 4 engines went to idle causing the crash.
