- Date: February 11, 2010
- Aircraft: ATR42-300
- Location: Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Indonesia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: Both engines ran out of fuel, apparently because of poor fuel management and a possibly misleading fuel quantity indication. The analysis was limited because the recorders were not operating.
A Trigana Air ATR 42-300 on a scheduled service from Berau toward Samarinda lost both engines after a go-around and a diversion toward Balikpapan. The crew made a forced landing in a field about 16 nautical miles from Balikpapan, and all 52 people on board survived. The flight data and cockpit voice recorders were not operating, which limited the investigation.
