Claim: Ajit’s plane hits trees before crash landing
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) had released a 22-page primary report on the Baramati plane crash. This report claims that on January 28, the Learjet 45 XR aircraft going from Mumbai to Baramati landed on the runway despite low visibility.
Citing CCTV footage from a village near the crash site, AAIB said that before the accident, the plane turned to the right, hit trees and then the ground. Due to this it caught fire and the entire cockpit and cabin were burnt.
No irregularities were found in post-flight check
The AAIB report also states that the plane returned to Mumbai after completing a flight on January 27. After post-flight check, the technician did not find anything wrong with it.
In fact, on January 26, VSR Ventures’ aircraft VT-SSK had operated a charter flight for the Mumbai-Surat-Mumbai sector. It returned to Mumbai at 12.20 am on 27 January.
The next day i.e. on January 28, the same aircraft was given take off clearance at around 8.09 am. Following Pune ATC, the plane came in contact with Baramati Tower at 8.19 am. Later the controller told the pilots that visibility was 3 kilometers.
However, the aircraft continued the approach and later performed a go-around. During the second approach the aircraft reported field in sight. Later Baramati Tower gave landing clearance for Runway 11.
2 more claims in the report…
