What could be more terrifying, than being told, miles above the sea, that the pilots flying your plane, are lost? This is exactly what happened 146 passengers on board a Boeing 737 over the Java Sea, in February of 2006.
The video you’re about to watch, tells the fascinating story of what happens, when small mistakes begin to slip through the cracks, building up, until they become impossible to ignore.
This is the story of Adam Air flight 782.

They were lucky the weather was good and they could see the airport. It is a shame that nav receivers (VOR and NDB) do not have a scan function, otherwise they could have selected to scan the VOR / NDB band to find any navigation beacon. Than listen to the id of it, and use to charts to see where that beacon is located. So they can find there position. And it is said that they could not get in radio contact with that airport they were approaching, but they could have used 121.5 MHz to call on, ATC and other planes should be listening on this guard / distress frequency. I am not sure if that is the case in Indonesia.
Once the crew had spotted the runway, why didn’t they try to establish contact on emergency frequency (121.500 Mhz) as the towers always have it on standby and it would give them clearer picture for many things such as location, winds, runway length and etc etc even if they were unable to bring the aircraft to a stop by the end of runway… just airmanship point… no squawk code.? Bla bla
15 minutes of 'quizzing', yeah right… We all know what was actually happening.
Good one Adam
Thought the position of the sun would have been a clue…
Can i to request the story of China Airlines Flight 140?
Wow they still using
INS ?
Why didn't the captain at least attempt to contact someone on one of the guard frequencies like 121.5, it is monitored via satellite by many governments and organizations as well as the tower at the airport??? This would have been true at the time this happened, I double checked.
34:30 😂
I'm not a pilot but I know there's a common comm frequency. Do they not have this on that part of the world?
wtf… I don't understand… pre-1950 technology
1) NDBs… sweep 200-500kHz, no need to "dial in" and frequency
2) HF radio… you're very rarely out of contact
3) 125.5 MHz watch?
I don’t have much knowledge of the aviation sector but could they not have sent out a squawk 7700 signal?
This clip is so polluted with ads I had to abandon it with 8 minutes left. Sorry, I can only take so much.
It’s insane how many incidents this company has had.. Corruption ran deep
"The ground maintenance engineers thought the easiest thing to do was to swap out the faulty inertial unit with a working one"
Me, trying to anticipate the issue: "Ah Christ, they put it in backwards!"
automation has progressed so far that pilots are forgetting the fundamentals of flying an airplane. All this technology is a double-edged sword.
set the FMS direct to the airport, yet the plane is in an obvious right-hand turn for 20 minutes? No problem!
Glad that adam air finally bankrupt 2 years later
Wow
Not a navigation expert but comparing the difference between IRS and the compass while estimating at what time the IRS began being wrong could have given them a rough location right? Correct me if wrong
Wow it's really strange this thing happened
Imagine that being your first Time on a plane 😂 like dayum
It's obvious some accidents are not entirely human mistakes. It's called fate. The nature works in many mysterious ways. Such as MH370 is just destiny. Twice in the same year? March and July? That is almost perfection.
What this pilot accidentally did, is one my hobby 😅, fuel up my ride, no map no nav, lets see where im at when my fuel almost runs out
So it wasn't the pilot's fault, but he got fired anyway.
Just ask the fricking passengers, some would likely know.
And a gyroscope doesn't register any acceleration, it only registers spacial orientation, spacial orientation with accelerometers double integrated over time, gives position in space.
Could you do a video about Northwest airlink flight 5759?
How did the passengers then get to the correct destination? Did Adam Air send a different aircraft, or did another carrier finish the job? After that first leg, I'm not sure I would board another Adam Air flight! 😜
does Indonesia not have a guard frequency? is 121.5 not an international thing?
