What happened
A cargo flight traveling from Masbate to Manila resulted in an accident upon arrival at the destination. The twin engine aircraft was transporting a shipment of shrimp and fish at the time of the incident. As the aircraft was completing its landing sequence, the plane became uncontrollable and drifted off the runway surface. The impact caused the aircraft to overturn, leaving it resting in an inverted position. Following the excursion, a fire broke out, which ultimately led to the total destruction of the airframe.
Findings
The investigation into the accident determined that the loss of control during the landing phase was directly linked to a mechanical failure involving the landing gear. Specifically, the right main tyre was flat, which prevented the crew from maintaining the necessary directional stability on the runway.
