What happened
During an attempted departure from Iligan-Maria Christina Airport, an aircraft encountered extremely poor visibility caused by dense fog. As the flight proceeded with its takeoff roll, the plane failed to achieve rotation. Consequently, the aircraft overran the runway and collided with a pile of rocks and sand.
The impact resulted in the destruction of the aircraft. The accident led to one fatality, involving the copilot, while several passengers sustained injuries during the crash.
Findings
- The primary environmental factor was zero visibility resulting from heavy fog conditions at the time of the accident.
- The aircraft failed to lift off or rotate as intended during the takeoff sequence.
