Accident investigators unravel the events leading up to an airline tragedy by gathering all the data from the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR), the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), the National Weather Service (NWS), the Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) and the Terminal or Airport Control facilities. They will also put a team together made up of engineers from the manufacturer of the aircraft (Boeing), the engine manufacturer (CFM), maintenance specialists, pilot groups, weather specialists and human factors personal. Once all the technical, audio and video data is collected the results will be calculated. It will be the same for this accident on March 7th 2007.

The airport at Yogyaharta, Adisutjipto International Airport (WIIJ-ICAO or JOG-IATA) is what is called a category 1b airport. It has an ICAO Category 6 rating, which puts it just about in the middle of airline capabilities. Based upon this rating the largest possible aircraft that is allowed to land there is the Boeing B-737-400 (or competing type aircraft series.)

Garuda flight GA-200 was a Boeing 737-497 (PK-GZC) on a flight from Jakarta to Yogyakarta – a distance of about 455 km (285 miles). A Boeing will not climb to max altitude on a flight of this distance but climb to an intermediate altitude between 22,000 and 28,000 feet. The plane attempted to land on runway 9. There is another small grass runway used for glider aircraft parallel to runway 9 called 9R. GA-200 overshot the runway and stopped outside the airport movement area.
