Garuda Indonesia ATR 72-600 Runway Excursion at Lombok (PK-GAG)

Incident Overview On 3 February 2015, PT Garuda Indonesia operated flight GA7040 as a scheduled passenger service from Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali to Lombok International Airport in West Nusa Tenggara. The aircraft was an ATR 72-600 with registration PK-GAG. The flight departed at 09:10 UTC and carried 34 people: three pilots, two flight attendants, and 29 passengers. ## Cockpit Configuration The Second in Command, who was under line training, served as the pilot flying. The Pilot in Command acted as the pilot monitoring. A third pilot, also under line training, occupied the cockpit observer seat. ## Landing Sequence At 09:52 UTC, the aircraft touched down and bounced three times while the left wing was up and the aircraft rolled to the right by about 2 degrees. It then traveled off the runway for approximately 180 meters and stopped about 15 meters to the right of runway 13. ## Emergency Response After the aircraft stopped, the pilot declared a mayday to Lombok Tower and requested assistance. The engines were shut down using the engine fire handles. A flight attendant asked the pilot about evacuating passengers, and the Pilot in Command directed evacuation through the left door. The tower activated the crash bell, and Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting personnel arrived within minutes to assist. No injuries were reported. ## Investigation Findings The KNKT investigation identified contributing factors, including two transfers of control at a critical altitude without clear statements, which may have left the pilots uncertain about who had full control. The report also noted that the aircraft handling after the bounce was contrary to the wind condition, and the application of right rudder in crosswind conditions may have affected the outcome.
