Overview
- AAIB and DGCA teams recovered the flight data and cockpit voice recorders at Baramati, with examinations underway.
- Investigators are reconstructing the final minutes after an initial go‑around, a second approach, and a veer‑off near the runway threshold around 8:44 am that killed five.
- Baramati’s MIDC airstrip lacks an Instrument Landing System and dedicated IMD weather support and operates without full ATC, relying on visual procedures at a training and charter hub.
- Aviation minister Rammohan Naidu said the AAIB’s final report on a September 2023 VSR Ventures Learjet runway excursion remains in process and pledged a timeline-driven approach to the current probe.
- AAIB’s backlog, including overdue reports on prior Baramati training accidents, has intensified calls for tighter oversight and infrastructure upgrades at frequently used non‑commercial airfields.
