The PAC-750XL aircraft, registered PK-KIG, was being operated by Komala Indonesia on an unscheduled passenger flight from Wamena Airport (WAJW) Papua to Ninia airstrip, Yahukimo, Papua that was located on radial 127° from Wamena with
distance approximately 26 Nm. On board the aircraft were one pilot, one engineer and 4 passengers.
Video footage made by a passenger captured the cockpit situation and surrounding area during the final approach. The video also recorded that during approach, at an altitude of approximately 6,500 feet, the airspeed indicators indicated zero and the aural stall warning activated. The aircraft then flew to the left side and parallel to the runway. Thereafter it climbed, turned left and impacted the ground about 200 meters south-west of the runway.
The engineer on board was fatally injured, one passenger has minor injuries and the other occupants, including the pilot, were seriously injured.
The investigation determined the contributing factors to this accident were:
- Continuing the flight with both airspeed indicators unserviceable increased the complexity of the flight combined with high-risk aerodrome increased the pilot workload.
- The improper corrective action at the time of the aural stall warning activating on the final approach, and the aircraft flew to insufficient area for a safe maneuver.
- The unfamiliarity to the airstrip resulted in inappropriate subsequent escape maneuver and resulted in the aircraft stalling.
- The pilot was not provided with appropriate training and familiarization to fly into a high-risk airstrip.
