A Cessna U206B, RP-C979, made a forced landing at the shoreline of Duli Beach, Brgy. Bucana, El Nido, Palawan. The pilot, and one passenger safely egressed from the aircraft and were rescued by personnel of the Philippine Coast Guard.
The aircraft departed San Vicente Airport, Palawan for Sangley Airport, Cavite carrying 25 boxes of live fish cargo. The flight was uneventful after take-off until the aircraft was climbing from 6,500 ft. to 7,500 ft. when the pilot noticed that the engine suddenly stopped. Several attempts were made to restart the engine but to no avail. The pilot then radioed another pilot flying nearby about their situation and subsequently searched for a suitable area to safely land the aircraft. The pilot opted to ditch the aircraft along the shoreline.
