- Date: January 14, 2002
- Aircraft: Boeing 737-200
- Location: Pekanbaru-Sultan Syarif Kasim II-Simpang Tiga, Riau, Indonesia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The crew's improper execution of the takeoff checklist, which left the flaps unconfirmed, with a maintenance failure on the aural warning circuit breaker as a contributing factor.
A Lion Air Boeing 737-200 on flight JT386 from Pekanbaru to Batam did not become airborne after rotation because the crew skipped the before-takeoff checklist and the flap setting was not confirmed. The captain rejected the takeoff, and the jet overran the runway and stopped in trees about 275 metres beyond the end. One passenger was seriously injured and the rest had minor injuries. The aircraft was written off.
