On Sunday, August 2, 2009, while carrying fifteen people over Papua, the aircraft went missing en route.〔(The JakartaPost )〕〔(Plane disappears over Indonesia )〕 Its wreckage was found a few miles from Oksibil two days later.〔(Wreckage of missing Indonesian plane believed found )〕 All 12 passengers and 3 crew members were killed in the accident. All of the passengers were of Indonesian nationality. Indonesian Investigation Agency, NTSC released the final report and concluded that the cause of the crash was due to Controlled Flight Into Terrain(CFIT). The pilots didn't maintain visual flight rules while flying below lowest safe altitude, thus impacting terrain. NTSC stated that the crash was 'not survivable'. ==Flight== Merpati Flight 9760 took off at 10:15 (local time) with an estimated time of arrival at Oksibil of 11:05. It was the second flight using the same aircraft with the first flight departed at 06.50 A.M local time. The flight was planned to use Visual Flight Rules instead of Instrument Flight Rules.
