The final seconds before the plane lost touch and fell after hitting a cliff on Mount Salak were clearly recorded in the plane’s equipment, despite the fact that the plane was destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company’s SSJ 100 aircraft, flight number RA 36801, <\/strong>was on a commercial flight from Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flight will be conducted under instrument flying regulations (IFR<\/strong>) at a height of 10,000 feet for 30 minutes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As a pilot, Aleksandr Yablontsev assumed that the flight was approved for a fly up to 20 nautical miles in the direction of the 200 HLM VOR radial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plane took off from Halim Airport runway 06 at 14:20 WIB, then turned right to follow the 200 HLM VOR radial and continued climbing until it reached 10,000 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pilot spoke with Jakarta Approach four minutes<\/strong> later, alerting them that the plane was on the 200 HLM Radial and had reached a height of 10,000 feet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pilot returned to communications two minutes later and requested permission to descend to 6,000 feet and orbit to the right. \n\nThe Jakarta Approach Officer gave his approval.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The goal is for the plane to land at Halim Airport on runway 06 without being too high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
