Mystery of Weather & Control of Sriwijaya - Aiman ​​(Bag 1)

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV - The Indonesian Aviation World was again tested. The Sriwijaya SJ-182 aircraft, the Jakarta-Pontianak route, carried 62 passengers along with the crew crashed in the waters of the Thousand Islands, Jakarta. The process of searching for aircraft debris and victims is still being carried out. Until Tuesday (12/01), the joint team had found a flight data recorder (FDR) which was part of the "black box" of the aircraft, in the waters of the Java Sea.

Later, part of the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) can also be lifted, even though it is no longer intact. These two things will be used as a source of analysis of the cause of the accident.

Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 is known to have lost contact at 14.40 WIB on Saturday (9/1/2021), 4 minutes after taking off from Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Based on the results of the initial analysis, the 26 -year -old iron bird recorded freefall from the height of 3,322 meters above sea level to 76 meters above sea level. When it touches the water, it is suspected that the aircraft engine is not dead so that it still sends coordinate data, height, and speed. Radar data obtained by NTSC from AirNav Indonesia, also shows that.

Although the Ministry of Transportation through the official release explains the Boeing 737-500 aircraft is worth flying, there are a number of estimates developing based on conditions just before the accident, namely bad weather, components, and problematic aircraft control.

Without intending to precede the KNKT investigation, Kompas TV journalist Aiman ​​Witjaksono, conducted a flying simulation with flight practitioners, Captain Vincent Raditya.

In addition, Aiman ​​also interviewed the 2007-2015 KNKT Chairperson, Marshal Muda (Ret.) Tatang Kurniadi and flight observer, Alvin Lie, to find out their analysis of accidents that occurred in Sriwijaya Air based on their experience. Can the weather and problematic engine components cause accidents? What to do?
