A Batik Air Indonesia pilot and his second-in-command are accused of allowing the flight they were operating to veer off course as they both took a snooze in the cockpit mid-flight, Indonesian officials said in a report. The Jan. 25 flight, BTK6723, was carrying 153 passengers en route from Halu Oleo Airport in Kendari to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, according to a report from Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee.
While the pilot slept, the co-pilot requested to change the flight path in order to dodge bad weather, the report said, and was instructed to check in with flight control when they were in the clear. But then the co-pilot accidentally fell asleep, the report said. The pilot woke up to find 'that the aircraft was not in the correct flight path,' according to the report. The pilot saw the co-pilot was asleep and woke him.
