Descripción:
Both engines failed within a short interval 18 minutes after takeoff from Bario Airport, Malaysia, on a 35 minutes sector. The pilot attempted to land on a hillside jungle track used by timber transporters. The wings struck several trees causing the aircraft to impact nose down onto the hill slope.
The engines failed due to lack of fuel, resulting from the crew failure to ensure enough fuel for the flight. Contributory cause was the absence of a proper regulatory body to monitor the operator's activities through regular inspections and continuous surveillance.
