Narrative:
A Beechcraft 65-80 Queen Air crashed into a school building of the Felixberto Serrano Elementary school, Dona Soledad Subdivision, Better Living, Parañaque City, after take-off. All three occupants of the aircraft and at least eleven residents of the neighborhood around the school were killed. The pilot reported mechanical trouble before the crash, and was attempting to return to the airport when it crashed. The planned route of the aircraft was Manila - Ninoy Aquino International (MNL / RPLL) to McGuire Field, San Jose, Mindoro Occidental (RPUH) where it was supposed to fetch a cargo of fish.

The Aircraft Accident Investigation and Inquiry Board determined that the probable cause of
this accident was:
Immediate Cause
(1) Pilot’s Lack of event proficiency in emergency procedures for one (1) engine in-operative condition after-off. Pilot Error (Human Factor) While a one engine in-operative condition during take-off after V1 is a survivable emergency event during training, the pilot failed to effectively maintain aircraft control
the aircraft due to inadequate event proficiency.

Contributing Cause
(1) Left engine failure during take-off after v1. (Material Factor) The left engine failed due to oil starvation as indicated by the severely burnt item 7 crankshaft assembly and frozen connecting rods 5 & 6. This triggered the series of events that led to the failure of the pilot to manage a supposedly survivable emergency event.

Underlying Causes
(1) Inadequate Pilot Training for Emergency Procedure. Human Factor
Emergency event such as this (one engine inoperative event – twin engine aircraft) was not actually or properly performed (discussed only) in actual training flights/check-ride and neither provided with corresponding psycho-motor training on a simulator. Hence, pilot’s motor skill/judgment recall was not effective (not free-flowing) during actual emergency event.
(2) Inadequate engine overhaul capability of AMO. Human Factor
There was no document to prove that engine parts scheduled to be overhauled aboard were complied with or included in the overhaul activity. The presence unauthorized welding spot in the left-hand engine per teardown inspection report manifested substandard overhaul activity.
(3) Inadequate regulatory oversight (airworthiness inspection) on the overhaul activity of the AMO (on engine overhaul). Human Factor
The airworthiness inspection on this major maintenance activity (engine overhaul) failed to ensure integrity and quality of replacement parts and work done (presence of welding spots).
(4) Unnecessary Deviation by ATC from the AIP provision on Runway 13 Standard VFR Departure Southbound.
The initiative of the AY+TC for an early right turn southbound after airborne was not in accord with the standard departure in the AIP which provides the safest corridor for takeoff and the ample time to stabilize aircraft parameters in case of a one engine inoperative emergency event for a successful re-land or controlled emergency landing.
