Loss of situational awareness by the captain.

- They took off at 05:25:10 with 4 deg pitch up and with 300 kph speed.

- After gear up the pitch increased up to 15 deg pitch up at which point the captain started pushing the yoke away from himself.

- at 05:25:29 at an altitude of 157 meters flaps up was selected (although during the briefing this was to be at an altitude of 500 meters). During this the captain was still pushing the yoke away from himself (ie: less pitch)

- Due to the actions of the captain, at an altitude of 231 meters, and at a speed of 360 kph the aircraft started descending.

- At 05:25:39 they were at an altitude of 218 meters, speed 373 kph, pitch down 1,5 deg and vertical speed -6-8 m/s when the SSOS (horn and indiciation light warning "Danger, ground")

- During this the captain "energetically" (sic) turned the yoke from 10.7 deg right to 53.5 deg left within 1 second, after which he pressed the left foot control by 1/2, while also pulling the control yoke towards himself

- The aircraft continued descending due to the excessive roll

- at 05:25:46 they were at 90 meters altitude, speed 464 kph, left roll 27 deg, vertical speed -20m/s, and 2 deg pitch down

- at an altitude of 67 meters with a left roll of 35 deg the light indication "Left roll angle excessive" was lit, and after 1.2 seconds at an altitude of 34 meters with a speed of 514 kph the yoke was turned to the right to it's maximum and pushed away to it's neutral position

- at 05:25:49 after 73 seconds since the take off roll started, at 1270 meters from the coastline the aircraft crashed with a speed of 540 kph, left roll approx. 50 deg, course 220 deg, -4 deg pitch down, vertial speed -30m/s

Apologies for the imperfect translation.
