A Cessna U206F Stationair was destroyed upon impact with a forested area along the slope of a mountain.
The wreckage was found on March 9, 2023 in Barangay Ditarum, Divilacan, Isabela, after 44 days of searching.
All six occupants died in the crash.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Primary Cause Factor
a. The pilot failed to clear off the terrain during the cruise-descent phase of the flight due to reduced visibility as a result of inclement weather conditions.
• Contributory Cause Factor
a. The decision of the pilot to continue the flight even with the initial information of a developing localized adverse weather condition within the flight route and destination.
b. Lack of available real time accurate weather data at Maconacon Airport.
c. The aircraft is being operated commercially without established internal procedure (i.e., SOP on weather briefing and flight following) to ensure the safe completion of every flight.
d. Non-observance of flight duty time and rest periods restrictions for commercial like operations which could have compromise the sound judgement and decision-making ability of the pilot.
