- Date: May 9, 2012
- Aircraft: Sukhoi Superjet 100-95
- Location: Mt Salak, West Java, Indonesia
- Fatalities: 45
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: The crew was unaware of the terrain near the flight path and did not respond appropriately to the TAWS warning; the radar service lacked minimum vectoring altitudes and functioning MSAW for the area. Conversation distracted the crew, so the aircraft drifted out of its orbit.
A Sukhoi Superjet 100 on a demonstration flight for prospective buyers from Jakarta circled Mount Salak in low visibility after descent clearance. It hit a cliff edge and was destroyed on impact and by fire. All 45 people on board were killed.
