Lion Air 904 flight is a scheduled domestic passenger flight, flying from Husein Sastranegara International Airport in Bandung to Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali, Indonesia. On April 13, 2013, the Boeing 737 operates a temporary route on the final approach of falling into short-run ground water. All 101 passengers and 7 crew members aboard the ship survived the crash. The aircraft involved is Boeing 737-800, PK-LKS registration, operated by Lion Air between Husein Sastranegara International Airport in Bandung, Indonesia and Denpasar. At 15:10 local time (07: 10 UTC), the aircraft crashed about 0.6 nautical miles (1.1 km) from the sea wall protecting the Runway 09 threshold. The plane broke into two and 46 people were injured, 4 of them serious.
The airport was closed for about ninety minutes while emergency services were attended. During the accident, Lion Air had 16 other Boeing 737-800s in the fleet.
The investigators published the final report and concluded that the pilot's error was the cause of the accident. The investigation establishes that there is no problem with the aircraft and all systems operate normally. The investigation concludes several factors for this accident that the pitch versus engine power angle in the FDR data indicates that the basic principle of jet aircraft flying is not adhered during manual flight, the flight path of the aircraft becomes unstable under the MDA when the rate falls below 300 meters per minute, this is not recognized by either pilot, and the Captain's decision to get around is done at altitudes that are not enough to go-to be executed successfully. The crew lost situational awareness in terms of visual reference after the aircraft entered the rain cloud during the last approach below the minimum height (MDA) contributing to the plane crashing into the water.

Aircraft
Boeing 737-8GP, PK-LKS registration, officially owned by Avolon Aerospace. The aircraft was received only from Boeing by Lion Air subsidiary, Malindo Air on February 21, 2013. It was transferred to Lion Air's parent on March 20, 2013. The aircraft had operated less than six weeks with Lion Air prior to the accident.

Investigation
The National Transportation Safety Committee of Indonesia (NTSC) published its preliminary report on May 15, 2013. Flight data shows that the aircraft continues to decline below the Minimum altitudes (MDA), ie 142 meters (466Ã, ft) AGL. The report found that at 270 meters (890 ft) of AGL, the first officer reported that the runway was not visible. At about 46 meters (151Ã, ft) of AGL, the pilot again states he can not see the runway. Flight data indicate that the pilot attempted to go-around about 6.1 meters (20 feet), but contacted the water surface moments later. The captain went around the decision coming too late. The minimum height for a rotating 737 is 15 m, because 9 m of height is lost when maneuvering. There is no indication that the plane suffered mechanical damage. The final report is published in 2014.
In January 2017, Budi Waseso, the head of Indonesia's national narcotics agency, said that the Lion Air 904 Flight pilot was under the influence of drugs at the time of the accident, and had hallucinated that the sea was part of the runway. The claim contradicts statements made after an accident by the Indonesian transport ministry, which says the pilots were not tested positive for drugs.
The NTSC concludes that the flight path becomes unstable below the minimum altitude with the rate of decline exceeding 1000 feet per minute. The crew lost the situational awareness and visual reference when the aircraft entered a rain cloud during the last approach below the minimum height. The decisions and executions carried out by the Captain are done at an insufficient height to be successfully carried out. Pilots are not provided with accurate and timely weather information given the weather around the airport and in particular the final approach is changing rapidly.
Crew Passenger and Cabinity
There are two pilots and 5 flight attendants with 101 passengers in them consisting of 95 adults, 5 children and 1 infant. 97 passengers are Indonesian, but include one French, one Belgian, and two Singaporeans. 6 of the crew are Indonesian while one comes from India.
