Indonesia announces cause of passenger plane crash that killed 62

On 9 January 2021, Sriiwijaya Air Flight SJ182 crashed in the waters of Java near Laki Island in the Kuril Islands near the Indonesian capital Jakarta, killing all 62 people on board, including 50 passengers.

On 10 February 2021, the Indonesian official announced a preliminary investigation report that the aircraft crashed into the sea due to the failure of the automatic throttle or the loss of control. Nurcahyo Utomo, chairman of the Indonesian Air Crash Investigation Subcommittee, said that before the plane crashed into the sea, the throttle lever of the left engine of the airliner moved backward on its own while autopilot was running, reducing the engine's power. The thrust of the aircraft's engine was unbalanced during operation, causing the aircraft to turn sharply and eventually crash into the sea. Although the flight data recorder was recovered at the time, the cockpit voice recorder was damaged when the plane crashed into the sea and the memory card was lost.

According to Reuters news on 10 November 2022, Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Board (KNKT) announced the final findings of the plane's auto-throttle system malfunction, which pilots did not monitor well, which ultimately led to the fatal crash.

The 26-year-old jet's autothrottle system has had as many as 65 repairs since 2013, according to a 202-page final investigation report. Since the pilot can manually control the thrust levers, the autothrottle system does not necessarily need to be enabled when the aircraft is flying.

"In this case, the pilots did not closely monitor the asymmetric thrust issues, including the left engine throttle stick moving back to as low as 34 percent after takeoff, while the right stick stayed at about 92 percent of the original climb settings," Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Board said. 

"There are several indications that the pilot may have checked the aircraft for anomalies such as engine parameters, thrust lever position and roll angle, and pilot overconfidence and bias in confirming flight data may have been a factor in poor monitoring."

Sriwijaya Air did not respond to a request for comment.

Notice on Further Optimizing the Prevention and Control Measures of the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic

Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism No. 101 [2022]

All provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps shall have joint prevention and control mechanisms for novel coronavirus pneumonia (leading groups and headquarters), and member units of the State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism for novel coronavirus pneumonia:

Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (covid) epidemic, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, China has insisted on putting people first and life first, insisting on external defense imports and internal defense rebounds, insisting on dynamic clearing and unwavering, and optimizing and improving prevention and control according to the time and situation. We actively responded to the impact of multiple rounds of global epidemics, protected people's lives and health to the greatest extent, and achieved major positive results in coordinating epidemic prevention and control with economic and social development. On 10 November, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held a meeting to hear a report on the prevention and control of the covid epidemic, and studied and deployed 20 measures to further optimize the prevention and control work. In order to implement the spirit of the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and ensure the implementation of epidemic prevention and control and optimization and adjustment measures, the relevant work is hereby notified as follows:

1. Improve political standing, scientifically and accurately do a good job in epidemic prevention and control

At present, SAR-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus, covi) is still mutating, the global epidemic is still in an epidemic situation, and new domestic epidemics continue to emerge. 

China is a country with a large population, a large number of vulnerable groups, unbalanced regional development, and insufficient medical resources. The epidemic situation in some areas is still on a certain scale. Affected by virus mutation and winter and spring climate factors, the spread and scale of the epidemic may further expand, and the prevention and control situation is still severe and complicated. It is necessary to maintain strategic determination and do a scientific and accurate job of epidemic prevention and control. It is necessary to adapt to the characteristics of the rapid spread of the virus, to control it quickly, to take more resolute and decisive measures to curb the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible, and to concentrate efforts to fight the epidemic annihilation in key areas. All localities and departments must resolutely unify their thoughts and actions with the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee, unswervingly adhere to the supremacy of the people and life, and unswervingly implement the "external defense input, internal defense The general strategy of "rebound" and unswervingly implement the general policy of "dynamic clearing", in accordance with the requirements of preventing the epidemic, stabilizing the economy, and ensuring safe development, effectively coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development. It is necessary to further improve the political position, and fully understand that optimizing and adjusting prevention and control measures is not to relax prevention and control, let alone let go, "lay flat", but to adapt to the new situation of epidemic prevention and control and the new characteristics of the mutation of the covid virus, and adhere to the established prevention and control Strategies and guidelines to further improve the scientific nature and precision of prevention and control, protect people's life safety and health to the greatest extent, minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development, and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China with practical actions.

2. Implement the deployment of the Party Central Committee, actively and steadily optimize the adjustment of prevention and control measures

The Party Central Committee has made important deployments and put forward clear requirements for the twenty measures to further optimize the prevention and control work, and all localities and departments must fully implement various optimization measures in place.

(1) For close contacts, the management measures of "7-day centralized isolation + 3-day home health monitoring" will be adjusted to "5-day centralized isolation + 3-day home isolation". One nucleic acid test was carried out on the first, second, third, and fifth days of centralized isolation medical observation, and one nucleic acid test was carried out on the first and third days of home isolation medical observation.

(2) Identify close contacts in a timely and accurate manner, and no longer determine close contacts.

News (5)

(3) Adjust the "7-day centralized isolation" for spillover personnel in high-risk areas to "7-day home isolation", during which codes are assigned and management is not allowed to go out. On the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th days of home isolation, a nucleic acid test must be carried out.

News (6)

(4) Adjust the risk areas from the three categories of "high, medium and low" to the two categories of "high and low" to minimize the number of control personnel
In principle, areas such as places where infected persons live and where activities are frequent and where the risk of epidemic transmission is high are designated as high-risk areas. Other areas in the counties (cities, districts, banners) where the risk areas are located are designated as low-risk areas. No new infection was found in the high-risk area for 5 consecutive days, and it was reduced to a low-risk area. High-risk areas that meet the conditions for unblocking should be unblocked in a timely manner.

(5) For employees in high-risk positions who have completed closed-loop operations, the "7-day centralized isolation or 7-day home isolation" is adjusted to "5-day home health monitoring". Do not go out unless necessary, and do not go to crowded public places or take public transportation if you really need to go out.

(6) In regions where no epidemic has occurred, nucleic acid testing shall be carried out for risk positions and key personnel in strict accordance with the scope determined in the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan, and the scope of nucleic acid testing shall not be expanded. Generally, nucleic acid testing for all employees is not carried out according to the administrative area, and it is only carried out when the source of infection and the transmission chain are unclear, and the community transmission time is long, and the epidemic situation is unclear. Formulate specific implementation measures to standardize nucleic acid testing, reiterate and refine relevant requirements, and correct unscientific practices such as "two tests a day" and "three tests a day".

(7) Cancel the fuse mechanism for inbound flights, and adjust the negative nucleic acid test certificates from 2 times within 48 hours before boarding to the certificate of 1 negative nucleic acid test within 48 hours before boarding.

(8) For important business personnel, sports groups, etc. entering the country, "point-to-point" transfer to the isolation-free closed-loop management area ("closed-loop bubble") for business, training, competition and other activities. . Chinese personnel need to complete enhanced immunization with the new coronavirus vaccine before entering the management area, and take corresponding isolation management or health monitoring measures according to the degree of risk after completing the work.

News (7)

Risk assessment is carried out for those with a nucleic acid test Ct value of 35-40 when the centralized isolation is released

(9) It is clarified that the positive judgment standard for entry personnel is that the Ct value of nucleic acid test is <35, and the risk assessment is carried out for those with a nucleic acid test Ct value of 35-40 when the centralized isolation is released. Code assignment management, people are not allowed to go out.

News (8)

"7-day centralized isolation + 3-day home health monitoring" is adjusted to "5-day centralized isolation + 3-day home isolation"

(10) For inbound personnel, the "7-day centralized isolation + 3-day home health monitoring" is adjusted to "5-day centralized isolation + 3-day home isolation", during which codes are assigned and management is not allowed to go out. After the inbound personnel have completed the quarantine at the first point of entry, the destination shall not be quarantined again. One nucleic acid test was carried out on the first, second, third, and fifth days of centralized isolation medical observation, and one nucleic acid test was carried out on the first and third days of home isolation medical observation.

Risk areas should do a good job in evacuating the stranded personnel

(20) Classify and orderly do a good job in evacuating the stranded personnel. Where the epidemic occurs, the risk area must be accurately and timely demarcated. For non-local personnel who are not in the high-risk area, they are allowed to leave after assessing the risk to avoid detention and take precautions on the way back. In places where a large number of people are stranded, it is necessary to formulate a special evacuation plan, strengthen information communication and cooperation between the departure place and the destination, and make arrangements under the premise of effectively preventing the epidemic from spilling over. Transportation, civil aviation, national railways and other units must actively provide transportation Capacity guarantee. Destinations should enhance their awareness of the overall situation, and must not refuse to accept the return of stranded personnel, and implement prevention and control measures for returning personnel as required. It is necessary to avoid the spread of the epidemic, and must not increase control.

3. Strengthen risk prevention and implement various measures to deal with hidden risks

All localities and departments must adhere to bottom-line thinking, highlight problem orientation, do a good job in the orderly connection of the implementation of optimization and adjustment measures, grasp the key links, and do a good job in related risk prevention and response to ensure that the overall risk of the epidemic is controllable.

(1) Regarding the management and control of risk personnel
All localities must strictly manage the centralized isolation points to avoid cross-infection at the isolation points. Instruct those who are eligible for home isolation to strictly implement the relevant requirements during the home isolation period. Once a positive test is detected, carry out research and judgment on transmission risks and track and manage relevant risk personnel to prevent the spread of the epidemic; those who do not have the conditions for home isolation are still subject to centralized isolation. It is necessary to strengthen the closed-loop management and personal protection of employees in high-risk positions during operation to avoid infection during work. Guide employees in high-risk positions to strictly implement relevant requirements during home health monitoring. Once a positive test is detected, immediately carry out research and judgment on transmission risks and track and manage relevant risk personnel to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

(2) Regarding the delineation of risk areas
After the outbreak of the epidemic, all localities must promptly delineate high-risk areas and release them to the public. Generally, high-risk areas are delineated in units and buildings. When the risk of epidemic transmission is not clear or there is widespread community transmission, the scope of high-risk area delineation can be appropriately expanded.

(3) Regarding the adjustment of foreign defense import measures
 All localities should make a good reserve of centralized isolation resources, standardize the establishment of centralized isolation points and strictly implement management. Strengthen the standardized management of immigrants during the home isolation period. Strictly implement the requirements of closed-loop management, personal protection, nucleic acid testing and other requirements for internal and external parties and Chinese personnel in the isolation-free closed-loop management area ("closed-loop bubble"), and strictly prevent "breaking the loop". Inbound personnel with a nucleic acid test Ct value of 35-40 shall be further screened, and a nucleic acid test shall be completed 24 hours later. If the nucleic acid test Ct value is <35, they shall be immediately transferred to a designated hospital or a shelter hospital for isolation treatment; if the nucleic acid test Ct value is ≥ 35. Generally, it is a previous infection. During the home isolation period, "two inspections in three days", code management, and no going out.

4. Strengthen organizational guarantees for optimization and adjustment work

To implement optimization and adjustment of prevention and control measures, it is necessary to focus on policy interpretation, training guidance, and implementation of responsibilities, further build up the consensus of the whole society, avoid and eliminate misunderstandings about the optimization and adjustment of measures, strengthen leadership and responsibility, and resolutely prevent large-scale The bottom line of the epidemic.

(1) Strengthen publicity and guidance and policy interpretation
Strengthen the interpretation of optimization and adjustment policies, emphasize continuing to adhere to the general policy of my country's epidemic prevention and control strategy, and guide the whole society to fully understand the importance of adhering to the supremacy of the people and life, adhering to external defense imports, internal defense rebounds, and dynamic clearing. It is understood that further optimization of prevention and control measures is for more scientific and precise prevention and control, and it must not lead to a misunderstanding of relaxing epidemic prevention and control, or even letting go and "laying flat". To guide and objectively understand the optimization and adjustment of China's prevention and control policies and measures is based on the characteristics of virus mutation, which is not only scientific but also necessary, so as to win the understanding and support of the general public and front-line staff at the grassroots level, and build a solid foundation for mass prevention and control. Strengthen public opinion monitoring and respond to public concerns in a timely manner.

(2) Strengthen work guidance and training at all levels
On training, the competent departments of various industries should take their responsibilities seriously, strengthen the guidance for the optimization and adjustment of the industry in this field, improve the supporting policies, and urge the implementation of various measures. All localities must accurately grasp the essence of the policy, make comprehensive deployment, refine specific work requirements, and carry out in-depth training for prevention and control personnel at all levels. The work ability and level of the front line of prevention and control.

(3) Strengthen organizational leadership and responsibility implementation
Local party committees and governments at all levels must be responsible for defending the soil and fulfilling their responsibilities. The main responsible comrades should personally take care of them, clarify the division of responsibilities, organize and implement carefully in combination with the actual situation, strengthen policy training, force coordination and material support, and effectively and orderly promote the optimization and adjustment of prevention and control measures. Complete tasks without compromise. It is necessary to fully understand the complexity, arduousness and repetition of the fight against the epidemic, strengthen responsibilities, enhance fighting skills, go deep into the grassroots and the front lines, pay close attention to all work of epidemic prevention and control, and make every effort to ensure the production and living services of the people. , to effectively meet the basic living needs of the masses during the epidemic disposal period, ensure basic livelihood services such as medical treatment, try to maintain the normal production and living order, do a good job of ideological guidance and psychological counseling, and resolutely win the battle of normalized epidemic prevention and control.
