Heard it is MAX8 PK-LQP which just delivered to Lion Air August this year.

Indonesian SAR confirmed, the plane crash. That was a new plane right?

[T Azahan 1]

Playback in FR shows that the MAX climbed up to over 5000feet then dropped. Playback stops when MAX reached altitude 3650feet upon entering Java Sea. JT610.

Seems a brand new baby.

ADSB-B data shows that the altitude was erratic the last 3 minutes with the aircraft falling/climbing/falling until the last transmission Also the speed accelerated until last transmission.

You are right Robert. Erratic upon reaching over 5000feet.

Pardon my ignorance, but if all that is seen is debris - where is the plane? Sunken? Exploded?

Could be disintegrated on impact.

It's always like that when an aircraft hits the water. Parts that are buoyant remain on the surface. Heavy parts sink. Oil slicks (jet fuel) also float.

As per FR24 the last signal received indicated VS -30,000 fpm

Aircraft had a air turn back the previous day. Unreliable Airspeed. Captains instruments had a defect.

More than likely disintegrated. The sad part is, this type of accident normally dont leave any survivors.

 

Hope the authority investigate this accident thoroughly and make amends to prevent this kind of accident from happening again.

Airspeed indicator damaged on its last four flights and still they let it fly.

The authorities need to do something with Lion Air. Highest incident and accident recorded in Indonesia.

I hope their management and operations have nothing to do with Malindo?

Malindo is overseen by DCA/Mavcom - so they have to comply with Malaysian civil aviation regulations.

 

However, their aircraft is owned by the parent company - I am not sure what kind of maintenance arrangements they have. But it has been known that some Malindo aircraft do go for some work to be done at Batam.
