- Date: June 10, 2013
- Aircraft: Xian MA60
- Location: Kawthaung, Tanintharyi Region, Myanmar
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Low hydraulic pressure reduced nosewheel steering and braking during the landing roll. The pilot did not operate the emergency hydraulic pump when the low-pressure warning came on; a blocked air line filter contributed to the low pressure.
After a hydraulic low-pressure warning on approach to Kawthaung, the crew landed the MA60 but could not steer it. The aircraft veered off the left side of the runway, struck two fence pillars and a tree, and turned about 90 degrees before stopping. No one was injured, and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
