Anong direction kaya to heading? Kung south eastely to heading sana tumbok nya is Laguna lake, maybe kung hindi na nagexecute ng turning maneuver baka sa lake sila nagcrash landing..My condololence to the families of the personnel that perished in that crash.

Was in Busuanga airport a couple of years ago and nainterview ko pa yung mga pilot ng mga ganyan small light plane..they usually carry live (sleep induced) fish from Palawan to Manila.
There is this famous line in every hangar, "A properly maintained Aircraft is a Safe Aircraft."

From my observation of the video, the aircraft basically lacked in Air speed. Whether one of the engine died, the most important thing to notice is the plane banked steeply without sufficient air speed and altitude resulting the plane to stall.

The two engines installed on the light aircraft were Reciprocating engines in a horizontally opposed configuration having 6 cylinders each(same in cars like Subarus and Porsches). Iam not sure whether the engines are made by Lycoming of Continental but, these type of engines really really heavy though engineered to light weight but compared to car engines due to its composition and material which is i believe made fully of cast-iron makes it heavy. The maintenance on these type of engine are very very delicate and a lot of times needs preventive maintenance checks. Common problems for these old engines are burnt valves and oil escaping to the combustion chamber occuring even in newly overhauled engines. Though these engines are very powerful and really dependable, you will need high maintenance in regard of efficiency and safety.

OT:
I know a company that flies to palawan and get some fresh seafoods there and brings it back here in Manila. Most people do this.
