Singapore-Seletar

The aircraft departed Jakarta-Halim Perdanakusuma Airport on a charter flight to Singapore, carrying expatriates who were leaving Indonesia due to political unrest. On approach to Singapore-Seletar Airport, the copilot followed the checklist but failed to arm the lift dumper which affected the antiskid system that could not be used. After landing on a wet runway surface, the crew started the braking procedure but this was insufficient so the captain applied emergency brakes which is not recommended when hydroplaning is suspected. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the aircraft overran, lost its left wing and left main gear before coming to rest. All 80 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was written off.

The twin engine aircraft departed Singapore-Seletar Airport on a cargo flight to Pontianak, carrying three crew members and a load consisting of engine spare parts. About 65 minutes into the flight, the captain informed ATC about the failure of the right engine. The aircraft then descended with a rate of 200 feet per minute until the altitude of 3,500 feet when the last radio contact was recorded. The airplane crashed in the sea about 128 km west of Pontianak, in the region of Batu Islands. Few debris were found floating on water but no trace of the three occupants.

The crew was engaged in a positioning flight to the Paya Lebar AFB in Singapore where 50 employees of an Oil Company should be picked up on a flight to the Middle East. During the takeoff roll, the captain decided to abandon the procedure and initiated an emergency braking manoeuvre. unable to stop within the remaining distance, the airplane overran and lost its nose gear before coming to rest 100 metres further. All nine occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew departed Singapore-Seletar on a local test flight. En route, the left engine failed and its propeller was feathered. The crew was cleared to return to Seletar Airport when the right engine suffered power loss and dysfunctioned intermittently. The captain decided to ditch the aircraft into the Strait of Johore, about 400 meters short of runway 20. Both pilots were rescued and the aircraft sank by 8 meters of water.

The crew was engaged in a local supply dropping training mission at Singapore-Seletar Airport. While cruising in the vicinity of the airfield at low height, the crew reported the failure of the engine n°2. The pilot-in-command lost control of the airplane that banked left, stalled and crashed in a field located few km from the airport. The aircraft was destroyed upon impact and all 13 occupants were killed.

The departure from Singapore-Seletar Harbor for Hong Kong was performed in poor weather conditions with high winds, turbulences and thunderstorm activity. It appears the seaplane was overloaded and after takeoff, it encountered problems to gain height and crashed into the sea. Both pilots and three passengers were killed.

The crew was engaged in a local training flight in Singapore-Seletar Airport. Just after liftoff, an engine was cut by the instructor. The aircraft stalled and bounced, causing the tail to separate. The seaplane crashed and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.

Shortly after takeoff, while in initial climb, the left engine failed. Unable to maintain a positive rate of climb, the captain decided to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft crash landed in a field located 800 meters past the runway end and came to rest in flames. All occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was destroyed.

Shortly after a night takeoff from Singapore-Seletar Airport, while climbing to a height of some 200 feet, both left engines lost power. Heavily loaded and at low speed, the airplane stalled and crashed into the Seletar River. Thirteen occupants were killed while eight others were injured. The aircraft was destroyed.
