I found this part of the report disturbing ...

"the system that regulates the plane's rudder movement kept malfunctioning because of a cracked solder joint.Aircraft maintenance records found it had malfunctioned 23 times in the year before the crash, and the interval between those incidents became shorter in the three months prior to the crash, Indonesia's National Transport Safety Committee said in a report."
