The airplane was found at 9:15 a.m. this morning by the helicopter on a hill of Mt. Salak in Bogor, West Java, at the height of 5,500 feet above sea level. This is close to the height of Genting Highlands which is a little over 6000ft at its maximum level.

However, officials have not received reports on the details of the plane's condition.

The airplane was on a “road show” in several Central and Southeast Asian countries to introduce the airplane by conducting demonstration flights.
