May not be true, but this report states that due to land at 0720 and lost contact with ATC at 0750. |

Apparently confirmed by Indonesia's search and rescue agency ...

This shows a flight time of 10 mins and the beginning of a descent ...
https://www.flightradar24.com/data/f...jt610#1e5ff318 And on CNN ... https://edition.cnn.com/2018/10/28/a...ntl/index.html |
Boats reporting debri found in water. |
Some photos

According to flight radar (the link is in the above comments - Can’t post links yet), The 737 seems to not be climbing, seems to fluctuate from 5000 to 4000 then at 3000 before it disappears. Wondering if there was a stall. Maybe the pitot covers were left on? |

Comparison of the flight the day before. Note the Different Aircraft registrations. Bottom Graph 27/10/2018 B738 PK-LPQTop Graph 28/10/2018 B738M PK-LQP Looks like a significant upset very shortly after take-off. Altitude dropped around the 2 minute mark with a subsequent increase in air speed. Source: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/f...jt610#1e5ff318 The Pilots appear to be struggling to maintain a steady altitude for the whole 10 minutes of the flight. |
I'm in Indonesia, watching TV. The flight was full, 737-8. Crashed into ocean 13 minutes after departure. Weather is fine and sunny at the scene..
|
Reported Problems
Pilots reportedly informed ATC they were having technical problems and requested to return to the airport.
|
The captain was an Expat Indian. FO was local.... |
|
Looking at the data for Flight Radar looks like it either a major mechanical failure or a miss managed one.

Bird strike? |

Wonder what the NG-max differences course was like |
Another incident where emergency locator beacons did not operate. mjb |

It’s OK to offer a hypothesis!
To those of you admonishing your colleagues for tossing around first-impressions while “bodies are still warm,” THAT’S WHAT WE DO! WE’RE PILOTS! This thread is not a news organization, it’s a crowded pub. It’s OK to put your bets on the table about what happened before the investigation has even begun, much less ended. Maybe someone should start a different thread titled “Indonesia 737 Max crash: FACTS ONLY.” And stay there. And wait. |

I don't disagree with you on the larger principle, that it's natural and reasonable to speculate on what might have been involved. I do however, object to the bigots who, on the basis virtually no information at all, beyond "airplane lost control and crashed" have immediately leaped to the conclusion that the crash is certainly the result of the incompetency of the aircrew, simply because of their assumed ethnicity. |
That drop at the end is fairly rapid. 30k ft per minute fall. After maintaining whilst a still fairly rough attempt at level flight, It’s like they lost the fin or something. Elevator/Fin related? |

One can fly from one end of the "known" UK to t'other in just over twice the length of the projected flight time for JT610. And with jolly fellows of the right ethnicity. Shall we drop into Cardiff or Manchester chaps, a bit of vibration. gg |

Lion and Malindo
Very sad and prayers and thoughts to families. But I am not surprised. Lion air and that other dreadful airline called Malindo should be investigated for safety issues.
|
Just heard From a Indonesian pilot who is in the know, highly suspected it was unreliable airspeed and unusual attitude .... |

Pitot covers still installed? |
Hello Captain . . .

Reader comment on Avherald says the aircraft had been snagged the day before for unreliable airspeed and alt disagree.

The same aircraft apparently had an unreliable speed issue on the previous flight from Bali to Jakarta last night. This was reported by the pilots according to Bloomberg.
FR24 data from that flight shows the aircraft enters a descent after takeoff, with increasing speed, similar to the event which happened on this flight at approximately 2,000ft. However on the DPS-CGK flight it happened at around 5,500ft. 14:25:21 - 5,500ft - 282kt 14:25:48 - 4,625ft - 324kt 14:26:13 - 5,400ft - 303kt 14:26:25 - 6,300ft - 276kt 14:26:37 - 6,600ft - 265kt 14:26:49 - 7,400ft - 247kt https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....f805739212.jpg Suggests around 2,000fpm descent rate with 42kt speed gain, followed by 3,000fpm climb losing 77kt. That's not a normal climb profile so something went wrong here, assuming the ADS data is accurate. |

Is it possible the ADS data is corrupted by unreliable speed data - which source does it use.

Pitot covers still installed? I wonder where the flightradar data transmitted from the plane comes from, i.e. which pitot tibe or which flight computer? Is it the one currently selected as the main by the pilots? If just on pitot was faulty, airspeed & stick shaker warnings will operate until it is determined which one needs to be disabled. This should leave two to work with. How quickly the faulty one can be determined is an interesting question. I hope the pilot in control was flying the plane rather than trying to diagnose the issue. |

Indonesia travel advice Monday, 29 October 2018 Latest update Following the fatal crash of a Lion Air plane on 29 October 2018, Australian government officials and contractors have been instructed not to fly on Lion Air. This decision will be reviewed when the findings of the crash investigation are clear (see Local travel). ....... |
The last line of this article in Japanese quotes Indonesian aviation sources saying that the pilot(s) requested a return to Jakarta before the aircraft disappeared.
189?????????????? ??????????????????20?????????AFPBB News 同機はレーダーから消える前に、ジャカルタへの帰還の許可を求めていたとしている。(c)AFP "This same aircraft was requesting permission to return to Jakarta before it disappeared from radar." |
