This accident was avoidable had the DGCA of Indonesia suspended the AOC after crash 2, which occured 75 days after crash number 1!
The report copied below has been reduced considerably from its original due to size constraints in this forum:
Report January 2012
1. It is clear that Susi Air is not fit to hold an AOC under the terms of Part 135.
2. The only course of action is to suspend operation of Susi Air.
8. The lack of oversight by the DGCA is putting innocent life at risk!
18. Safety Management system is totally dysfunctional
19. The risk of a single engine failure is increasing with every hour flown.
20. The risk of loss of life is extremely high and beyond a level which is acceptable in any risk management system.
