Lion Air Flight 610 (JT610/LNI610) was a scheduled domestic flight operated by the Indonesian airline Lion Air from Soekarno–Hatta International Airport in Jakarta to Depati Amir Airport in Pangkal Pinang. The Indonesian government's search and rescue found debris and human remains soon after from a 280 km (150 nmi) wide area. [68] Bad underwater visibility and strong sea current hampered the search and rescue effort. The aerial search area was widened to 350 km (190 nmi) and the "underwater search area" was widened to 500 km (270 nmi). [137] Shortly after takeoff on 29 October, issues involving altitude and airspeed continued due to erroneous AoA data and commanded automatic nose-down trim via the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). [123][124], The Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) reported that the weather was clear around the time of the crash, with winds at 9.3 km/h (5 kn) from the northwest. These performances had previously been identified during training and reappeared during the accident flight. [55], The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade announced that its staff would be banned from flying on Lion Air, as well as its subsidiary airlines Batik Air and Wings Air, until the cause of the accident was known. [14], The aircraft took off from Jakarta on 29 October 2018 at 6:20 a.m. local time (28 October 2018, 11:20 p.m. UTC) and was scheduled to arrive at Depati Amir Airport in Pangkal Pinang at 7:20 a.m.[15] It took off in a westward direction before circling around to a northeast heading, which it held until crashing offshore northeast of Jakarta in waters estimated to be up to 115 ft (35 m) deep. Budget airline Sriwijaya Air has about 19 Boeing jets that fly to destinations in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Thinking that it would fix the problem, the engineers in Bali then replaced one of the aircraft's AoA sensors, but the problem persisted on the penultimate flight, from Denpasar to Jakarta. The absence of guidance on MCAS or more detailed use of trim in the flight manuals and in flight crew training, made it more difficult for flight crews to properly respond to uncommanded MCAS. We value our long-standing partnership with Lion Air and we look forward to continuing to work together in the future. 9. The multiple alerts, repetitive MCAS activations, and distractions related to numerous ATC communications were not able to be effectively managed. [93][94][95], On 4 November, nearly 1,400 personnel, including 175 divers, were dispatched to the crash site. The 737-500 does not share the same antistall system as the 737 Max, which was triggered in the 2018 crash of another Indonesian flight, Lion … [156] The Wall Street Journal reported that Boeing had "decided against disclosing more details to cockpit crews due to concerns about inundating average pilots with too much information. [73] Indonesian officials confirmed that faint pings had been heard in the search area. [133] NTSC chief Soerjanto Tjahjono told the press that future reporting or actions, enacted to prevent similar problems on similar aircraft, would be decided by Boeing and U.S. aviation authorities. [47][needs update] The Speaker of the People's Representative Council, Bambang Soesatyo, later asked the government to enforce stricter rules for the aviation industry and to audit every airliner in the country. [59], In the immediate aftermath of the crash, the Indonesian media were warned by Indonesian Broadcasting Commission for their unethical coverage of the crash. [152], On 25 October 2019, after the release of the Final Report by NTSC, FAA revoked the repair certification of Florida-based Xtra Aerospace LLC, which fixed an AOA sensor suspected of contributing to the crash. [81] Officials confirmed that "pings" from the aircraft's ULBs were also heard near the area. Among the other passengers was Agus Minari and her husband who were on their way back to Pontianak after visiting her son and attending a funeral in Java, according to her cousin Deni Triady. Data from FlightRadar24 said the plane reached an altitude of nearly 11,000 feet (3,350 metres) before dropping suddenly to 250 feet. Domestic investigators' final report showed a chronically faulty component in a rudder control system, poor maintenance and the pilots' inadequate response were major factors in what was supposed to be a routine flight from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore. [60] Chairman of Indonesia's Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI), Abdul Manan, stated that images of debris were broadcast repeatedly and inappropriately. [149], On 7 November, on the basis of preliminary information gathered in the investigation of the Lion Air accident, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an emergency Airworthiness Directive (AD) requiring that amended operating limitations and procedures relating to erroneous data from an AoA sensor be inserted into the aircraft flight manual of each 737 MAX aircraft,[150][151] and urged all airlines operating Boeing 737 MAX 8s to heed the warnings. [130] The NTSC also stated that the engines of Flight 610 were still running when it crashed into the sea,[131] indicated by the high RPM.

Detailed reports from that flight revealed that the aircraft had suffered a serious incident, which left many passengers traumatized. But transport minister Sumadi said the jet appeared to deviate from its intended course just before it disappeared from radar. [16][17] The flight crew had requested clearance to return to the Jakarta airport 35 km (19 nmi) into the flight. [147] Former Boeing engineers expressed the opinion that a nose down command triggered by a sensor single point of failure is a design flaw if the crew is not prepared, and the FAA was evaluating a fix of the possible flaw and investigating whether the pilots' transition training is adequate.

MCAS was designed to rely on a single AOA sensor, making it vulnerable to erroneous input from that sensor. That crash - and a subsequent fatal flight in Ethiopia - saw Boeing hit with $2.5 billion in fines over claims it defrauded regulators overseeing the 737 MAX model, which was grounded worldwide following the two deadly crashes. Pictured: Soldiers in Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta after the plane lost contact, The Sriwijaya Air plane (file image of a similar plane) took off from the Indonesian capital on Saturday and was heading to Pontianak in West Kalimantan province when it lost contact with the control room, according to local media reports, A terrified loved one of one of the missing  Sriwijaya Air passengers prays as they await news.

Boeing's 737 MAX has been grounded for more than 10 months following two devastating crashes. So very sad!! [36][37], On 29 October, Indonesia's Transportation Ministry ordered all of the country's airlines to conduct emergency inspections on their 737 MAX 8 aircraft. Search teams at the site of the Sriwijaya Air crash in Indonesia have sent body bags and items of clothing to police for identification as they expand the search for the aircraft’s black boxes. The six flight attendants were all Indonesians. An automated flight-control system was thought to play a role in the 2018 crash and 737 MAX aircraft were grounded as a result. [137] The runaway stabilizer non-normal checklist was run, the electric stabilizer trim was turned off, and the flight continued with manual trim; the issues were reported after landing. An Indonesian airliner has crashed into the sea with 189 people on board. This raised further concerns about the safety of the 737 MAX and culminated in all 737 MAX aircraft being grounded worldwide for 21 months.

To deal with this, Boeing designed a Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) for the 737 MAX series. Basarnas dispatched about 150 people in boats and helicopters to the site of the accident. Indonesian Navy officials prepare their gear for a search and rescue operation after the Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737 plane went missing, The Indonesian budget airline jet suspected to have crashed into the sea just minutes after take-off from Jakarta had 62 passengers and crew on board, including 10 children, the transport minister said, Indonesian Navy members prepared their gear for a search and rescue operation today.

[154] In November 2018, Aviation Week reviewed the 737 MAX flight crew operations manual and found that it did not mention the MCAS. Indonesia's aviation sector has long suffered from a reputation for poor safety, and its airlines were once banned from entering US and European airspace. It was the first major accident involving the new Boeing 737 MAX series of aircraft, introduced in 2017, and the deadliest involving the Boeing 737 series, surpassing Air India Express Flight 812 in 2010.
