Sriwijaya Air Flight 182 experienced a thrust imbalance prior to going down in the Java Sea on Jan. 9, 2021, according to the preliminary accident report issued by Indonesia’s Komite Nasional Keselamatan Transportasi (KNKT/National Transportation Safety Committee) on Wednesday. Data from the Boeing 737-500’s flight data recorder (FDR) showed that the thrust lever for the aircraft’s left engine started reducing while the thrust lever position of the right engine remained the same as the aircraft climbed through 8,150 feet shortly after takeoff from Jakarta’s Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK). The trend continued as the aircraft reached 10,900 feet, at which point the autopilot disengaged and the aircraft rolled left to more than 45 degrees. When the autothrottle disengaged five seconds later, the 737 was at a 10-degree nose-down pitch angle.
