𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗶𝗿 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝟵𝟬𝟰 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Palu to Bali with intermediate stops in Balikpapan, Banjarmasin, and Bandung. The flight was operated by a Boeing 737-800 (Reg. PK-LKS) on 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟭𝟯, 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟯.
The flight departed Bandung at 13:45 with the co-pilot as Pilot Flying. About 15:00 the flight was descending towards Bali and the crew received vectors for a VOR DME approach for runway 09. At 15:08, with the plane at approximately 1,600 feet AGL, the Tower controller saw the plane on finals and gave a landing clearance with additional information that the wind condition was 120° at 5 knots. While descending through 900 feet the co-pilot stated that the runway was not in sight. Since the captain noted a flashing light at the beginning of the runway, he responded: "OK. Approach light in sight, continue".
At 15:09:33, after the EGPWS called out "Minimum" at an altitude of approximately 550 feet AGL, the pilot disengaged the autopilot and the auto throttle and continued the descent. The plane then entered an area of rainfall and the outside environment became totally dark. At 150 feet AGL the captain took over control. The co-pilot handed the control to the captain and stated that he could not see the runway. At 15:10:01, the EGPWS called out "Twenty", and the captain commanded a go around. One second later the plane impacted the water. The plane stopped facing to the north at about 20 meters from the shore or approximately 300 meters south west of the beginning runway 09.
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀:
- The aircraft flight path became unstable below minimum descends altitude (MDA) with the rate of descend exceeding 1000 feet per minute and this situation was recognized by both pilots.
- The flight crew loss of situational awareness in regards of visual references once the aircraft entered a rain cloud during the final approach below minimum descends altitude (MDA).
- The PIC decision and execution to go-around was conducted at an altitude which was insufficient for the go-around to be executed successfully.
- The pilots of accident aircraft was not provided with timely and accurate weather condition despite the weather around the airport and particularly on final approach to the airport was changing rapidly.
