Yes everything is there , but a bit diluted , so you have to look for the interesting bits..
One of the main cause can be found in para 1.18.1 page 39. if you read carefully.
Many errors , asumptions , a fatal one was to change the aircraft type on the plan sent to Jakarta APP to a SU30 ( A military jet fighter used by the Indonesian air force)
Halim is a joint military airbase, so for the APP controller everything looked like a Military fighter going to a training area.
Rate of climb of the aircraft was in excess of 3000ft/min up to 10.000 ft and very fast, plus a Russian accent,(instructors were russians on the SU-30s) it all fitted.
The maps used by the crew did not contain the training area, no published MSAs, a handling agent not used to those demo flights, local staff not briefed as to what was expected, etc..
Everyone asumed things , while others, incl crew , asumed different ones ( training areas, radials/headings, orbits to loose alt , etc..)
From the crew side, we have a test pilot of an unregistered proptotype flying pax , and playing salesman in cockpit while flying in a unknown area low level in bad weather . A F/O who did not know what was the plan (if there was a plan , see CVR between 07:31 and 07:33 ) confused, maybe even lost (CVR 07:32:22 ) , bad teamwork , then finally disregarding 7 Terrain warnings.
No a bright day for Russia and Indonesia Aviation .
But a good and fair final report. Congratulations to the NTSC.
PS : For my ATC friends here, have a good look at page 46 , para 2.5 , especially the part about working alone on the sector with no assistant and no supervisor . Rings a bell ?
