Dream - The public is being shocked by the incident of a Batik Air plane on the Kendari-Jakarta route that temporarily veered off course because the pilot and co-pilot fell asleep for 28 minutes. As a result, the plane carrying 153 passengers temporarily went off course and strayed into the Cianjur-Sukabumi sky. Someone who is suspected to be a passenger even shared the terrifying experience through a video uploaded by the account X@wellplayed04_.

When on the plane, he said, passengers do not suspect any mistakes made by the pilot and co-pilot. He only suspected that the condition at Soekarno-Hatta airport was crowded, causing the flight to take longer. However, he was worried that his travel ticket from Jakarta to Bandung would be void because the plane landed 30 minutes late.

"Because he was bored, he recorded the beautiful scenery seen from inside the plane. He admitted that he only found out about the incident of the pilot and co-pilot falling asleep on the plane after news of the investigation results from the National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) circulated. 'And only found out about the news today, still very grateful for being given a miracle by God, still given the opportunity to be in this world,' he wrote."

Based on the investigation report from KNKT, the co-pilot was exhausted after taking care of his one-month-old child. The pilot then offered the co-pilot to rest during the flight. The co-pilot then decided to sleep when the plane was flying at an altitude of 36,000 feet around 08:37 local time.

After contacting the Jakarta air traffic officer for about one minute, the pilot fell asleep. The Jakarta air control center then asked the aircraft crew how long the A320 needed to fly on its route. However, the air traffic controller in Jakarta did not receive a response from the pilot. After the pilot slept for about 28 minutes, he woke up and realized that the plane was not on the correct path.
