What happened
Shortly after departing from Roxas City Airport, the flight encountered significant mechanical difficulties involving the engines. During this period of instability, the crew lost command of the aircraft type (unspecified model), which subsequently went down in the Sibuyan Sea. The crash site was located approximately 22 km away from the northern coastline of Panay Island.
There were two fatalities resulting from the accident, as both pilots on board perished in the impact.
Findings
Official investigations into the incident concluded that the primary factor leading to the loss of control was engine problems occurring for undetermined reasons during the initial climb phase.
