History
Philippine Airlines was established in 1941.
Incidents
- 11 December 1957 DHBC-2 Heron 3B RP-C55 (c/n C325/1954), operating a scheduled flight from Ozamiz City to Pagadian, crashed during take-off due to a loss of control. Passing 75 feet after take-off, the aircraft suddenly banked left and lost altitude, catching fire after hitting some trees. It was determined that the weight of the passengers' hand luggage was not included in the weight calculations. Even with that weight included, the gross weight was still within the aircraft's MTOW; however, the passengers were mostly seated at the rear, the weight was distributed unevenly. This, as well as gusty winds and a high ambient temperature together with a too-steep climb on take-off contributed to the irrecoverable low-altitude stall. Of the ten passengers and two pilots, the pilot and one passenger were killed.
- 27 July 1962 Heron 3B RP-C56 (c/n C372/1955) crashed during a training flight; both pilots were killed.
- 20 May 1964 Philippine Airlines Heron 3B RP-C52 (c/n C313/1953), operating as Flight PR 26 from Siocon to Zamboanga, crashed in heavy weather near Sibuco Point. Despite near-zero visibility due to the heavy rain, the pilot continued to fly VFR into a heavy squall, and the aircraft went down over the rocky shoreline. All eleven passengers and two crew were killed.
