๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฎ ๐๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ญ๐ฑ๐ฎ was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Jakarta to Medan, operated by an Airbus A300 (Reg. PK-GAI) on ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ฒ, ๐ญ๐ต๐ต๐ณ.
The plane was cleared for an ILS approach to runway 05 at Polonia Airport. Having descended to 3,000 feet the crew were instructed to turn left, heading 240ยฐ for vectoring to intercept the runway 05 ILS. The pilots did not respond to this instruction, as the controller addressed the call to 'Merpati 152'. The instructions were repeated, this time using the correct call sign. The flight crew replied: "GIA 152 heading 235. Confirm we cleared from a mountainous area?" At 13:30 ATC directed GA152 to turn right heading 046 and report when established on the localizer.
Although the clearance for a right hand turn had been read back correctly, confusion on the part of the controller followed over whether GA152 was turning left or right: "152, confirm you're making turning left now?" GA152 responded, as cleared, that they were turning right. The controller subsequently added to the confusion by stating: "152 OK, you continue turning left now." This was contrary to the crew's expectations, so they enquired: "A (pause) confirm turning left? We are starting turning right now." The controller, possibly realising his error, replied: "OK (pause). OK..... GIA 152 continue turn right heading 015." Ten seconds later, the plane impacted a wooded area, broke up and burst into flames. All 234 (222 passengers and 12 crew members) occupants were killed.
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ:
"There was confusion regarding turning direction of left turn instead of right turn at critical position during radar vectoring that reduced the flight crew s vertical awareness while they were concentrating on the aircraft s lateral changes. These caused the aircraft to continue descending below the assigned altitude of 2000 ft and hit treetops at 1550 ft above mean sea level."
