What happened
During a local training mission focused on supply dropping procedures, an aircraft was operating in the area surrounding Singapore-Seletar Airport. While the flight was maintaining a low altitude during its cruise phase, the crew reported that the number two engine had failed. Following this mechanical failure, the pilot lost control of the aircraft. The plane entered a left bank and subsequently stalled, resulting in a crash into a field located a short distance from the airfield.
The impact of the crash resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft type (not specified in source) and caused the deaths of all 13 people on board. The occupants included five crew members and eight passengers.
Findings
Investigations into the accident determined that the primary factor was the loss of control following an engine failure during the flight.
