The F27 was on a training flight when it crashed while trying to land.[3] Officials previously said that the aircraft crew had been conducting a touch-and-go exercise before the crash.[4] The aircraft was not equipped with flight data recorders.
The plane was built in 1958 and used by the Air Force for the past several years.[3] TNI has said that it is in the process of procuring CN-295s to replace its Fokker F27s.[4]
