Descripción:Flight MH2133 (Kota Kinabalu - Tawau) approached runway 17 but touched down 500 m before the end of the 2200 m long runway. While attempting to carry out a go-around, the aircraft crashed into a shantytown. On March 20, 1995 a Cessna Caravan had also crashed into houses following a failed takeoff.
Probable Cause:
According to the investigation report, the accident was probably caused by the pilot's poor in-flight decision-making and failure to follow standard operating procedures. The report also pointed out the failure of the co-pilot to alert the captain of unsafe manoeuvres or take over control of the aircraft. Another contributing factor was the failure of the air traffic controller to provide positive air traffic services in controlled airspace.

Subsiguiente / acciones de seguridad
The following recommendations were issued following the accident:
1. Air services operators must stress to their pilots the importance of making correct and timely decisions and pilots must undergo regular flight checks and surveillances.
2. The operators and regulatory agencies must ensure that their pilots perform approved procedures as stipulated in their manuals for safety reasons.
3. CRM courses should be made mandatory instead of pilots merely being asked to attend safety awareness programmes.
4. Air traffic controllers must be provided with positive control in controlled air space especially in the climbing and descending separation limits.
5. High risk areas around aerodromes should not be developed into residential or places of high population density.
6. The Government must ensure that aviation regulatory agencies are provided with personnel with experience and knowledge to perform technical aviation surveillance on operators.
