- Aircraft: Boeing 737-400
- Location: Makassar (Ujung Pandang), South Sulawesi, Indonesia
- Fatalities: 102
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: The crew did not manage task sharing and neither pilot was flying the aircraft during an IRS fault. After the autopilot disengaged, the pilots became spatially disoriented and did not recover. Contributing factors were the airline's failure to resolve recurring IRS defects, weak maintenance oversight, and training that did not cover IRS failures or upset recovery.
