Aerolift Philippines Flight 075
On 18 May 1990, the Beechcraft 1900 operating the flight crashed just after takeoff, 1 km (0.62 mi; 0.54 nmi) south of the airport, killing all 19 passengers and 2 crew, as well as a family of four on the ground.Flight 75 was the second fatal accident of a Beechcraft 1900 and remains the worst loss of life in a crash involving that model.[2] The four casualties on the ground were a Japanese-Filipino family, including two small daughters aged 1 and 4, who had been sleeping together in the bedroom of the house, which was the impact site of the plane.[3] Investigators said initial findings showed that the right engine of the Beechcraft aircraft failed, and that the plane never gained more than 400 feet altitude before plunging to the ground.[2] The probable cause of the accident was determined to be a failure to maintain adequate flying speed and altitude, due to the pilot's inability to properly perform specified emergency procedures following a malfunction of the right engine immediately after take-off.
