- Date: March 10, 2008
- Aircraft: Boeing 737-400
- Location: Batam-Hang Nadim, Riau Islands, Indonesia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Collapse of the right main landing gear, most likely weakened by an earlier hard landing with a bounce, with corrosion found on the fracture surface of the strut. The crew were also below the glide path on approach.
An Adam Air Boeing 737-400 on scheduled flight DHI292 from Jakarta to Batam aborted one approach in heavy rain, then landed on a second attempt. The right main landing gear collapsed just after touchdown, the aircraft yawed off the runway and stopped on the shoulder. No one was injured but the aircraft was seriously damaged.
