What happened

During a scheduled local training operation at Manila International Airport, a four-engine airplane experienced a loss of directional control immediately following its arrival on the ground. After the aircraft successfully touched down, it departed the designated runway path and traveled into the surrounding area before coming to a complete stop.

There were no injuries reported among the four crew members on board, all of whom were able to evacuate the aircraft safely. However, the impact and excursion resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss, as it sustained damage that rendered it beyond repair.

Findings

  • The primary factor involved the aircraft veering off the runway after touchdown.
