- Date: December 10, 2011
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 80 Queen Air
- Location: Manila-Ninoy Aquino, Metro Manila, Philippines
- Fatalities: 14
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The pilot lacked proficiency in handling an engine failure after takeoff. The left engine had failed from oil starvation after a deficient overhaul, and oversight gaps and an ATC routing deviation were also cited.
A Beechcraft Queen Air cargo flight from Manila-Ninoy Aquino to San Jose took off with its left engine failing after V1. The pilot could not keep control, and the aircraft rolled into a steep dive and crashed beside a creek in a dense neighborhood, where it exploded and burned. The three occupants died, and many people on the ground were killed or injured.
