The Factors that led to the Crash of the Indonesian Jetliner-The Panagora Blog

 

What happened to the Indonesian Boeing 737?

Well, I’ll address the more recent crash of Sriwijaya Air flight 182. The flight was operated with a 26 year-old Boeing 737–500.

Currently all that is known is what can be found from radar and ADS-B data. The flight took off after a short weather related delay. The aircraft climbed to 11,000 feet, then suddenly descended very quickly (>10,000 ft/min rate) and impacted the ocean. The location of the aircraft is known, its exact position on the sea bed shouldn’t be too hard to locate.

Until the flight recorders are recovered, anything is really speculation. However, the fact that the transponders kept transmitting until impact with the water means the flight had power up to the point of impact. This indicates a high likelihood that the aircraft was intact at impact. The debris field was small, indicating a high-speed, vertical trajectory at the moment of impact. We’ll know more in the coming days. The flight recorders need to be recovered and if possible, as much of the aircraft as possible.

However, this was not a 737MAX aircraft. This was a much older 737 Classic model, first delivered to Continental Airlines in 1994. Sriwijaya Air has owned and operated the aircraft since 2012.

The airline is small, having only 18 (now 17) aircraft. They fly only 737s, mostly Next Generation 737–800s. They are a domestic-only (except one route to Timor-Leste) Indonesian airline. They appear to have a fairly decent safety record, with a handful of incidents that have appeared to have the severe monsoon weather that Indonesia is known for as a contributing factor.

Update: The wreckage has been found in about 50 feet of water. Body and wreckage recovery operations have begun, including locating the recorders.
