A small training plane crashed during training in Kasganj district of Uttar Pradesh, India. The female pilot of the plane was injured in the accident, but major loss of life was avoided. Initially, it is believed that the plane developed a mechanical fault shortly after takeoff. In that situation, the pilot tried to move the plane, which was flying dangerously over the locality, away from the populated area. Finally, the plane got stuck in an electric wire during an emergency landing and crashed on the side of the road.
The accident took place on Monday afternoon near an under-construction highway in Kasganj district. After the accident, local residents quickly rushed to the scene and rescued the injured female pilot. Later, she was given first aid at a local health center and sent to Agra for advanced treatment. She is under observation by doctors.
It is learned that the plane that crashed is a light training plane. It was taking part in a regular training flight from Aligarh. Initial reports indicate that the pilot encountered mechanical problems shortly after takeoff. Sources claim that the aircraft lost contact with the control center at that time.
According to local residents, the aircraft circled low several times. It was unable to fly normally and was having difficulty maintaining balance. The pilot then tried to make an emergency landing on a six-lane highway under construction, avoiding the population. However, just before landing, the aircraft hit an electric wire. It lost control and crashed on the side of the highway. Although the aircraft was extensively damaged in the accident, no injuries were reported to the general public nearby.
Eyewitnesses to the incident said that the aircraft was repeatedly circling low. That's when many suspected that something had gone wrong. After a while, the aircraft fell to the ground with a loud noise. Locals quickly reached the spot and rescued the pilot.
Upon receiving the information, police, fire brigade and senior administration officials reached the spot. The entire area was cordoned off. The aircraft wreckage has been preserved and evidence has been collected for the investigation. Although the initial investigation has given importance to a mechanical fault, other possibilities are not being ruled out. Weather conditions, technical data at the time of the flight, and the technical condition of the aircraft are being examined.
The Civil Aviation Authority of India has started a separate investigation. At the same time, the district administration is also working to find out the cause of the accident. Officials have not agreed to make any final comments on the specific cause of the accident until the investigation is complete.
The airline has informed that the aircraft had a certain amount of fuel during the training flight. After communication was lost in mid-air, there was some difficulty in determining the location of the aircraft. Later, it was learned that it crashed in Kasganj.
After the accident, there has been widespread discussion on social media about the intelligence of the female pilot. Many believe that it was possible to avoid major casualties because she tried to evacuate the aircraft by avoiding the locality. However, the authorities are not making any final comments on this matter until the official investigation is completed.
