The Paranaque City government said that it will distribute a “starting kit” of construction materials to residents of the shanty community displaced by last Saturday’s plane crash which burned their homes.
Human error coupled with mechanical failure are the two most probable causes of the Beechcraft Queen Air crash in Paranaque City last December 10 that resulted in the death of 14 people, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Board announced on Thursday.


Mayor Florencio Bernabe said the starter kit to be distributed includes basic construction materials such as pots, galvanized sheet and plywood.
In a briefing held at the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) head quarters in Pasay City on Thursday, Director General Ramon Gutierrez disclosed that the twin-engine cargo plane still had one engine running at the time of the incident and that it was very probable that the pilot was not able to perform the proper emergency maneuvers which resulted in its deathly plunge to a heavily populated shanty town in Baranagay Don Bosco, Paranaque.


Bernabe said that the city government is working to distribute the construction materials anytime this week so those displaced by the fire would not be homeless during Christmas.
According to Gutierrez, their investigation revealed that shortly after the aircraft took off from Runway 13-31 of the airport, the left engine suffered what seemed to be fuel starvation that later caused it to feather and stop spinning.  Gutierrez added that several witnesses recounted that they heard one of the engines sputtering before it banked steeply to the left then plunged to the ground.


The mayor said the families who lost their homes in the fire caused by the plane crash were evacuated to the Annex 35 covered gym on John St., Better Living Subdivision, Don Bosco, Paranaque City.
The AAIB investigation showed that the pilots of the aircraft, Capt. Timothy Albo and Capt. Jesse Kim Lustica, encountered problems with the left engine upon reaching 200 feet forcing them to radio the Manila Control Tower and request for emergency landing status.
 
Bernabe said the city government is looking for an “interim budget” to shoulder the cost of medical treatment of those injured, but they may ask the owner of the ill-fated plane, Innovators Technology, Inc., to eventually pay for the hospitalization costs.
 
He said the Paranaque government’s legal department is looking into the liabilities of the owner of plane for the crash and the damage it caused.
 
The mayor said that the government plans to summon the owners of the aircraft and discuss payment for the damages.
 
The light cargo plane crashed in a populated area in Paranaque, causing a fire that damaged a public elementary school and several shanties in the area.
 
Meanwhile, Island Transvoyager, Inc., Monday clarified that it was not the owner of the plane that crashed in Paranaque.
 
The mayor said that classes at F. Serrano Elementary School have been suspended and will resume on January 3. But classes for some of the 3,700 students of the school could be held at the Mary Help Christian Church covered court in Barangay Don Bosco.
 
The school may have to be demolished and totally rebuilt at a cost of P60-million.
