2019 Philippines Beechcraft King Air crash

On 1 September 2019, a Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft registered

RP-C2296, on an aeromedical flight from Dipolog Airport to Manila collided
with terrain at Brgy. Pansol, Calamba, Laguna, Philippines about 41 km
south of Manila. All of the nine occupants received fatal injuries.
On 8 October 2019, the Fairchild A100S cockpit voice recorder (CVR)
from RP-C2296, which was severely fire damaged (Figure 1), was brought
to Australia by two AAIIB investigators. In the presence of the AAIIB
investigators, the CVR was successfully downloaded at the ATSB data
recovery facility in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. All data recovered
from the CVR was provided to the AAIIB investigators to assist with their
Annex 13 investigation.
According to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP),
the aircraft with registration RP-C2296, which had taken off from Dipolog
Airport in Zamboanga del Norte at 1:40pm, was bound for Ninoy Aquino
International Airport in Manila when it lost radar contact with air traffic
control (ATC) at around 3.10pm, while flying 37 miles (60 km) south of
Manila. Witnesses nearby reported that the aircraft trailed smoke before
plummeting onto the ground.

The aircraft crashed and bursted into flames at the privately owned
Agojo Resort in Pansol, Calamba, and Laguna near the foothills of Mount
Makiling, killing all nine occupants aboard and injuring two others on the
ground. Among the dead were a patient being transported and his wife.
Debris from the aircraft landed in separate locations of the subdivision. A
number of residential houses were destroyed in the blaze, and a nearby
resort had a wall damaged in the fiery crash. The accident occurred during
the country's monsoon season, when a small number of tourists
visit Pansol's resorts compared to the dry season which ended in June.
