The 2009 Aviastar British Aerospace 146 crash occurred on April 9, 2009, when a British Aerospace 146 (BAe 146) crashed into Pikei Hill during a ferry flight from Sentani Airport to Wamena Airport, both in Indonesia's Papua province.

The aircraft was carrying voting paper to Wamena as well as several other goods, as a parliamentary election was held in the month.

The wreckage was found in Pikei Hill, Tengah Mountain, Tangma, Yahukimo District.

A final report by the National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC) concluded that the crash was due to Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) resulting from pilot error.

As it began its second approach into Wamena Airport, it hit Pikei Hill in Tengah Mountain at 07:43 local time (10:43 UTC).

[1][2]: 2 The aircraft involved in the accident, manufactured in 1990 and registered as PK-BRD with serial number E3189, was a BAe 146 Series 300.

[2]: 6 Because the aircraft was conducting a ferry flight there were no passengers; on board were six crew members which all were Indonesian.

At the time of the accident, the weather in Wamena was calm, with slight haze and broken clouds surrounding the area.

Based on the analysis of the flight recorders, investigators then reconstructed the chronological order as follows:[2]: 12–14,19–20 At its first attempt to land, the runway in Wamena was obscured by low clouds.

Neither pilot was trained sufficiently in handling the aircraft when the EGPWS warning alert sounded.

The Company Operations Manual (COM) specified that the crew briefing should be updated if changing circumstances so required.

This resulted in their being unable to assure the safety of flight at low level while manoeuvring the aircraft in proximity with terrain in conditions of reduced visibility.
