A Boeing 737-500 disappeared from radars shortly after takeoff from Jakarta.

The aircraft reg (PK-CLC) was operating flight #SJ182 from Jakarta (CGK) to Pontianak (PNK) when it disappeared from radars about 5 minutes after takeoff.

The Flight #SJ182 actually not emitted Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT). An Emergency locator transmitter (ELT) as equipment which broadcasts distinctive signals on designated frequencies and, depending on application, may be automatically activated by impact or be manually activated. When activated manually – or automatically by immersion in water or as a result of high ‘g’ forces on impact – ELTs transmit a distress signal which can be detected by non-geostationary satellites and then located precisely by either or both of GPS trilateration and doppler triangulation.
