Incident Overview
A crew of three was operating a positioning flight from Manila-Ninoy Aquino Airport to Caticlan, intended to carry a group of tourists. Upon touchdown at the destination, the left tyre burst, leading to a loss of directional control. The aircraft deviated to the left, exited the runway, and contacted a grassy area. The left main landing gear subsequently collapsed, and the aircraft came to rest in the grassy terrain.
Aircraft Damage and Crew Status
The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair, but all three crew members escaped without injury. No other persons were on board as the flight was a positioning leg.
Official Findings
The accident investigation determined the probable cause to be a loss of control after a tyre burst on landing. No further causal factors were cited in the official report.
