On 21 June 2012, a Fokker F27 military transport aircraft of the Indonesian Air Force crashed into a housing complex near Halim Airport in Jakarta, Indonesia, while conducting a training flight. All seven people on board were killed; four people on the ground were also killed, and 11 more injured.[1][2]

Accident[]

The F27 was on a training flight when it crashed while trying to land.[3] Officials previously said that the aircraft crew had been conducting a touch-and-go exercise before the crash.[4] The aircraft was not equipped with flight data recorders.

Aircraft[]

The plane was built in 1958 and used by Air Force for the past several years.[3] TNI has said that it is in the process of procuring CN-295s to replace its Fokker F27s.[4]
