Circumstances:
The single engine aircraft was completing a cargo flight to Kota Kinabalu, carrying two pilots and a load of 400 kilos of fish. After a course of 860 metres on runway 17, the aircraft lifted off and climbed to a height of about 3 metres when it landed back. It continued in a nose-up attitude, overran for 60 metres and came to rest down an embankment into several houses. Both occupants were slightly injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
