Jayapura. A light aircraft crashed into a fence during take-off in eastern Indonesia on Wednesday, killing the US pilot and a passenger, police said.

The US-made Kodiak plane was carrying six passengers and was chartered to deliver humanitarian supplies to a remote district in Indonesia's easternmost Papua province.

"The American pilot and an Indonesia passenger were killed in the accident. The aircraft partly caught fire, "Papua province police spokesman Sulistyo Pudjo told AFP.

The plane crashed into fence by the tarmac, he said, adding that five other passengers were injured, two of them seriously.

Indonesia, which relies heavily on air transport to connect its more than 17.000 islands, has one of Asia's worst aviation safety records.

The Indonesia region of Papua makes up the western half of New Guinea. People there rely on air transport in the absence of a substantial road network in the mountainous terrain with vast tracts of dense jungle.

My Commentary :

This is a blow for Indonesian nation and U.S. pilots who were victims of the plane crash in Papua. This indicates that the preparation time of less smooth take-off caused by the changing winds or while checking previous aircraft has not been fully prepared for take-off, or may also be due to excess luggage so that air can’t rise due to the preparation of legislative elections and bring added seven passengers inside.

Possible causes that made the plane could not take-off. This is still very reasonable when a plane crash in Papua because nature still runs the hills and mountains that cause the wind direction can change rapidly so as to affect the condition of the aircraft, it became the biggest limiting factor for the beginner pilot or professionals.

This becomes important for learning and attention of the airline to check flight preparation before take-off or after take-off and the pilot to see the weather conditions or the state of the runway during take-off and after take-off, and follow the rules in accordance with the procedures flight.
