Philippines

On landing, the left main gear collapsed. The airplane slid for several yards before coming to rest. There were no casualties while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The aircraft was on a non-scheduled flight from Kalibo to Manila. It took off from runway 05 at 1740 hours Philippine local time and the co-pilot testified that the take-off was normal and all engine instruments were indicating within normal operating range throughout the take-off and during the initial climb. He further testified that approximately 20 minutes after take-off, severe vibration and misses, decreasing oil pressure and increasing oil temperature of the left-hand engine, were noted as the airplane was climbing to 2,200 feet. The left-hand engine was shut down, its propeller feathered, and shortly after the pilot-in-command reversed course and descended with the intention of landing at either Kalibo or Roxas Airports. Neither airport was rated for night operations. The flight proceeded to Kalibo. Precipitation was encountered on the way and the visibility was so poor that the crew failed to make visual contact with Kalibo Airport. At 1823 hours, a climb to 2,000 feet was attempted to clear the terrain on the way to Bacolod Airport, the nearest airport available for night operations. However, with METO power on the remaining engine, the aircraft not only failed to climb but also failed to maintain altitude with the airspeed decreasing to 80 mph. Several attempts to climb were made but were discontinued due to pre-stall warning. At 1835 hours with 500 feet altitude, the pilot-in-command decided to ditch and warned the passengers accordingly. At 1839 hours, the ditching was attempted but the airplane collided with coconut trees located approximately 500 feet from the Barrio Camansi Norte shoreline and crashed on the muddy bed of an abandoned fishpond on a heading of 300°, approximately 160 feet from the point of initial collision. The accident occurred around 1840 hours.

While on a maritime patrol flight, the airplane caught fire in mid-air, exploded and crashed into the sea off the Cubi Point NAS. All 13 occupants were killed.

Prior to his departure from Siocon Airport, the pilot was informed about the poor weather conditions enroute and at destination. Despite the visibility was below the minima, he decided to start the flight. While flying under VFR mode in heavy rain falls, the single engine airplane struck a hill and was destroyed. The wreckage was found few hours later and all 11 occupants have been killed.

The aircraft was completing a flight from Travis AFB to Clark AFB with an intermediate stop at Hickam Field, Honolulu, carrying US soldiers and their family members. While descending to Clark AFB runway 02, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with low clouds, rain falls and a limited visibility to one mile. Five km from the runway threshold, the crew passed below the glide and the ATC in charge of the approach sent three warnings to the crew. Despite this, the pilot-in-command continued the approach and at three km from the runway threshold, the crew was instructed to go around. As the captain had the runway in sight, he neglected this order and decided to continue the approach, changed his frequency and contacted the tower when he was cleared to land. At a distance of 1,050 meters short of runway threshold, the nose gear struck a fence and the left wing struck the TACAN (Tactical Air navigation) antenna. The airplane stalled, hit the ground and slid for several yards, crossed a road where it struck a taxi and came to rest in flames 600 meters short of runway and 100 meters to the left of the extended centerline. Five crew members, among them both pilots, were injured, while all 74 passengers, five others crew members and the taxi driver were killed. Both taxi's passengers were injured as well.

The aircraft departed Malabang at 1540LT under VFR rules in good weather conditions. While overflying the Lanao Lake at an altitude of 2,300 feet, weather conditions worsened but the captain decided to continue under VFR mode. Approaching Marawi in poor visibility, the aircraft struck the slope of a mountain and disintegrated on impact. A passenger survived while 31 other occupants were killed.

Flight 984 was on a scheduled domestic flight from Zamboanga to Davao, with an intermediate stop at Cotabato. It departed Cotabato at 0940 hours, with a crew of three and twenty-four passengers, estimating Davao at 1025 hours. At 1002 hours the flight reported to the Company radio station at Cotabato that it was halfway to Davao, at Flight level 60, descending. Later on, it contacted the Company radio station at Davao and requested the Davao weather. After having received weather information the flight advised that its arrival would be delayed on account of bad weather. No aircraft difficulty was reported and this was the last message from the flight. When the aircraft failed to arrive, 30 minutes after its ETA a search was started. The aircraft was subsequently found on Mt. Boca, approximately 50 miles SE of Davao Airport, where it had crashed at an altitude of 3 000 ft around 1130 hours. All 27 occupants were killed.

Crashed on landing and came to rest in flames. All three crew members were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

Shortly after takeoff from Manila-Intl Airport, while climbing, the airplane went out of control and crashed in the suburb of Parañaque located south of the airfield. The aircraft was destroyed and all three crew members were killed while there were no casualties on the ground. The crew was involved in a local training flight at the time of the accident.

While on a patrol flight over the Philippines, the seaplane struck the slope of a mountain and was completely destroyed. All 12 crew members were killed.
