Mawlamyine

On 10 June 2013, at 6:55 local time, Myanma Airways MA-60 (XY-AIP) departed from Yangon to Mawlamyine- Kawthaung and back with 4 crews and 27 passengers. During climbing, hydraulic pressure low warning (LEDPL), intermittently illuminated and aircraft returned back to Yangon. After snag rectification, aircraft departed to Mawlamyine at about 10:15 local time. During final approach, while landing gear down hydraulic pressure low warning illuminated and disappeared at aircraft parking. At about 11:10, aircraft departed from Mawlamyine with 4 crews and 60 passengers. During the route Mawlamyine to Kawthaung, no warning light illuminated. While approaching to Kawthaung RW, PIC check hydraulic quantity and flap down to 5°, landing gear down and final turn to runway 02. During final approach, LEDPL warning light was come again. PIC set flaps 15° to 30° respectively, but he noticed flaps position was not fully extended. As soon as aircraft touch down, PIC apply reverse power at about 2,500 ft from runway end. After recognition of aircraft swing, PIC changed power lever to GI position and applied brake and changed nose wheel to taxi mode and steering. Aircraft cannot able to steer and veer off left side of runway at about 3,200 ft. Firstly aircraft stroke two fence pillars with propellers and nose wheel, then aircraft turned 90° to left and stopped after striking to tree with left wing. There was no injury to crews and passengers due to accident. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

After touchdown, the twin engine airplane was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran, rolled for few dozen meters and came to rest, broken in two. All 28 occupants were slightly injured.

Following an uneventful flight from Yangon, the crew landed at Mawlamyine (Moulmein) Airport. After touchdown on a wet runway, the airplane encountered difficulties to stop within the remaining distance, overrant and came to rest. Six passengers were killed while 39 other occupants were injured.

At 0810, while cruising vertical to the Gulf of Martaban in good weather conditions, the crew informed ground about his ETA in Moulmein at 0845LT. Sixteen minutes later, the crew informed ground about a new ETA and this was the last radio transmission. As the aircraft failed to arrive in Moulmein, SAR operations were conducted and few debris were found in the Gulf of Martaban but unfortunately, no trace of the 11 occupants.

The crew (G. W. Salt and F. B. Taylor) departed Mawlamyine on a flight to Yangon. En route, the airplane crashed in unknown circumstances in the Gulf of Martaban. No trace of the aircraft nor the crew was ever found.

The crew was performing a mail flight from France to Saigon. While overflying over Mawlamyine, Burma, he encountered poor weather conditions. A forced landing being impossible in this hilly area, the crew decided to abandon the aircraft and bailed out. The aircraft crashed and was destroyed while both occupants, Joseph Le Brix and Maurice Rossi, were uninjured.

While overflying Mawlamyine, the crew lost his orientation while flying in stormy weather. Because he was flying over mountainous terrain, the crew was unable to attempt an emergency landing and decided to bail out. The aircraft crashed and was destroyed. A pilot was injured and the second one was unhurt.

While cruising some 200 km southeast of Yangon, the crew encountered engine problems and attempted to make an emergency landing. The aircraft named 'France - Indochine' crashed in a swamp and came to rest. While both pilots were slightly injured, the mechanic was seriously injured.
