Aircraft Serious Incident Investigation Report

ISBN:
When the NTSC makes recommendations as a result of its
investigations or research, safety is its primary consideration.
However, the NTSC fully recognizes that the implementation of
recommendations arising from its investigations will in some cases
incur a cost to the industry.
Readers should note that the information in NTSC reports and
recommendations is provided to promote aviation safety. In no case
is it intended to imply blame or liability.
This report was produced by the National Transportation Safety
Committee (NTSC), Karya Building 7th Floor Ministry of
Transportation, Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat No. 8 JKT 10110,
Indonesia.
The report is based upon the investigation carried out by the NTSC in
accordance with Annex 13 to the Convention on International Civil
Aviation, Aviation Act (UU No.1/2009), and Government Regulation
(PP No. 3/2001).
Readers are advised that the NTSC investigates for the sole purpose of
enhancing aviation safety. Consequently, NTSC reports are confined to
matters of safety significance and may be misleading if used for any
other purpose.
As NTSC believes that safety information is of greatest value if it is
passed on for the use of others, readers are encouraged to copy or
reprint for further distribution, acknowledging NTSC as the source.
