Narrative:
On 16 November 2007, a Cessna 172 aircraft departed from Hang Nadim Airport, Batam, on a ferry flight to Pangkal Pinang (Depati Amir) Airport, Indonesia. There were two persons on board, 1 pilot and technician.

-About 1.5 hours after departure from Batam, the pilot were en route to Pangkal Pinang, Indonesia. reported climbing above 1,500 feet, and 3 minutes later the pilot broadcast a MAYDAY, stating that he was looking for a place to land. At that time he reported that he was 49 miles from Pangkal Pinang and passing 7,500 feet. The pilot did not give a reason for the Mayday broadcast until 5 minutes later. He said that he had found a place to land and will call the tower after safe landing.

The pilot subsequently landed on a beach 42 NM north-west of Pangkal Pinang. During the landing roll, the nose wheel sank into soft sand and collapsed, resulting in the aircraft overturning.
