PK - Indonesia

Following a normal takeoff roll, the pilot-in-command started the rotation. During initial climb, at a height of about 100 feet and at a speed of 122 knots, the engine n°4 went into Beta range and lost power. The crew elected to regain control but the aircraft rolled to the right, causing the right wing to struck the grassy area along runway 13. Out of control, the aircraft plunged in the Kowloon Bay and came to rest 500 metres offshore. Six occupants were rescued while six others were killed.

On approach to Palu-Mutiara Airport, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with limited visibility due to rain falls. On final, he failed to realize his altitude was too low when the aircraft struck the slope of Mt Kalora (690 metres high) located 8 km short of runway. The aircraft was destroyed upon impact and all 12 occupants were killed.

En route from Pontianak to Nanga Pinoh, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions. While descending in IMC conditions, the twin engine aircraft struck the slope of Mt Saran located 48 km west of Nanga Pinoh. All 11 occupants were killed.

About 30 minutes into the flight, while in cruising altitude, the pilot noted a loss of power on the left engine. At the same time, the oil pressure dropped while the engine temperature increased. In such situation, the pilot reduced his altitude and attempted an emergency landing in an open field located in Kualakapuas, some 63 km northwest of Banjarmasin-Syamsudin Noor Airport. All 10 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

On approach, the aircraft was too low and struck the ground short of runway. Upon impact, the undercarriage were torn off and the aircraft came to rest on its belly. All six occupants escaped uninjured and the aircraft was written off.

Following an uneventful flight from Ambon, the crew was cleared to descend to Sorong-Jefman Airport. On final, the pilot encountered poor visibility due to heavy rain falls and failed to realize his altitude was insufficient. On short final, the aircraft struck a promontory located 3,000 feet short of runway 22. Upon impact, the left main gear was torn off and the aircraft crashed in shallow water. Two passengers were rescued while 41 other occupants were killed.

On approach to Denpasar-I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali, the aircraft was too high on the glide. The captain made an overcorrection, causing the aircraft to approach the runway with a high rate of descent. In a nose-up attitude, the aircraft struck the runway surface with a positive acceleration of 5 g. After landing, the crew completed the deceleration and braking procedure, vacated the runway and rolled to the gate where all occupants disembarked safely. A complete inspection of the aircraft by technicians revealed that it suffered major fuselage damages and was later declared as damaged beyond repair.

The crew was engaged in a local training flight at Surabaya-Juanda Airport consisting of a series of six landings. On final approach during the 4th landing attempt, the landing gear alarm sounded. Thinking about a technical problem, the pilot-in-command increased engine power and initiated a go-around procedure. In the meantime, the copilot reduced power on both engines, causing the aircraft to lose speed and to stall. It struck the runway surface, veered to the right and eventually came to rest. Both occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

On short final to Surabaya-Juanda Airport, the right engine failed. The aircraft banked to the right and crashed in a swampy area located 800 metres short of runway. 16 occupants were killed while 28 others were injured.

During the takeoff roll at Pogapa Airfield, the aircraft deviated to the right then went out of control. It veered off runway, went down an embankment and came to rest in a ravine. Both pilots escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
