Part 6/7:
Investigators from Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee revealed shocking deficiencies in the training provided to the pilots. They lacked essential knowledge regarding IRS failures and were not given the formal manuals necessary for effective aircraft operations. Most alarmingly, they had not received upset prevention and recovery training, which is standard practice in other regions, compounding the misunderstanding of how to regain control during unusual aircraft attitudes.
Recommendations to rectify these issues were made, including significant overhauls in pilot training standards and stringent aircraft maintenance regulations. Unfortunately, Adam Air ceased operations just a year after the tragedy, although the threat to aviation safety in Indonesia persisted.
