I am extremely disappointed to find out this serious incident happend.
I called a colleague at the NTSC and he didn't know if the ATSB has informed the NTSC of the incident or not.

If the pilot was not informed of the NOTAM, then this would not be the first time for Garuda (remember the missile testing in India last year?). The biggest concern is, what part of the "displaced threshold landing clearance" don't they understand?

I find it sad I had to ask a friend at PER airport to verify the incident.

We'll see how it's gonna go.

As good as Garuda's training goes, still need to find out how the heck this incident happened. It is rather disturbing that despite the best maintenance and training and working conditions amongst the airlines in the country, Garuda's incidents (and accidents) seem to have a higher proportion of human factor causality than the competitors...
