- Date: March 18, 2016
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 1900D
- Location: Karachi-Muhammad Ali Jinnah-Quaid-e-Azam, Sindh, Pakistan
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Pakistan Safety Investigation Board: an internal malfunction of the propeller governor caused the uncommanded auto feather, although the exact cause could not be determined; continuing the takeoff below V1 after the engine malfunction and raising flaps below 400 ft AGL reduced lift and made continued flight unsustainable.
On 18 March 2016 a Beechcraft 1900D (AP BII) on a charter to Sui lost power on its right engine just after takeoff from Karachi runway 25L. The crew landed gear up on the remaining runway, the aircraft left the right side of the runway and came back, and it stopped about 320 m short of the runway end. The captain and one passenger suffered serious injuries, and the other occupants were unhurt.
