March 22, 1998 accident
On March 22, 1998, flight 137 overshot the runway while landing at Bacolod City Domestic Airport. There were no fatalities among the aircraft's crew and passengers, but three people died on the ground as the airliner plowed through a residential area.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320-214 with tail number RP-C3222, was destroyed. It had been in service for barely three months prior to the accident [ [http://www1.airliners.net/search/photo.search?regsearch=RP-C3222 Airliners.net database entry for RP-C3222] ] .
A selection by the pilot of the wrong mode on the onboard flight computers prevented power from being reduced to idle, which inhibited thrust reverse and spoilers from being used. The offending engine was shut down, and brakes applied, but the aircraft was unable to stop before the end of the runway [ [http://www.rvs.uni-bielefeld.de/publications/compendium/incidents_and_accidents/BacolodReport.pdf Scan of accident report (PDF)] ] .
