	INTRO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This report is on the accident involving the SilkAir flight MI 185, a Boeing B737-300, which crashed into the Musi river near Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia, on 19 December 1997, at about 16:13 local time (09:13 UTC).
		SilkAir flight MI 185 was operating as a scheduled passenger flight from Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Singapore Changi Airport.
		About 73 percent by weight of wreckage was recovered, although due to the magnitude of destruction of the airplane, the small mangled pieces precluded finding clues, evidence or proof as to what have happened, how and why.

	Statement by NTSC chairman on the crash report
		The safety issues in this accident relate to the issues of the flight recorders' stoppage, the initiation of the sudden descent from cruise flight level 35,000 feet, the position of the horizontal stabilizer trim actuator as found on impact, and the backgrounds of the cockpit crew.
		In the beginning the investigation examined possible systems malfunctions, in-flight fire, in-flight breakup, act of terrorism, weather, air traffic control and human factors, but then we narrowed down our investigation to the main issues, for which some limited evidence was available.
		It is recommended that a review of the flight crew training syllabi be undertaken by aircraft manufacturers to include recovery from high speed flight upsets beyond the normal flight envelope.

	Was the SilkAir Crash an Accident or Simply a Pilot Death Wish
		According to one pilot who examined the training records of both SilkAir aviators after the crash, both had done "very well" in their recurrent flight-simulator training and during flights when they had been checked by a training captain.
		Though questions remain nearly three months after the SilkAir Boeing 737-300 crashed in Indonesia while on a flight from Jakarta to Singapore on December 19, killing all 97 passengers and seven crew on board, Diran said answers would be found.
		Investigations into in-flight details were also being hampered by partial failure of the "fl box" flight data recorders which mysteriously stopped recording in the crucial minutes before the plane began its fatal descent.

	Experts still divided on SilkAIr pilot-suicide theory
		According to SilkAir and Singaporean police investigations, in March 1997, in the first of those incidents, a plane piloted by Mr Tsu into Manado airport in North Sulawesi Province in Indonesia was too high to land and had to make a second approach.
		He subsequently explained to SilkAir management that he wanted to preserve the conversation and had planned to use it as evidence in the investigation into the Manado incident.
		David Learmount, operations and safety editor at Flight International magazine in London, said that if the Indonesian committee had concluded that Mr Tsu had committed suicide at the controls, it would have been effectively judging him guilty of murder, for which proof beyond reasonable doubt was required.
