The Cessna 152 crashed near Thungathurthy village, Nalgonda. The trainee pilot died in the crash.
Probable cause of the accident
The probable cause of the accident could not be established, but was likely to be technical issue affecting ability of aircraft to sustain flight. While the student pilot was flying low, searching for a suitable field to carry force landing, it is possible that student pilot might have made a sharp maneuver trying to avoid an obstacle or, control surfaces did not respond as per the control input; leading to loss of control.
The factors contributory to this accident are:
- Maintenance schedules not complying with OEM guidelines for flight operations in “Severe Corrosion Zone” leading to lack of adequate preventive maintenance on aircraft.
- Unserviceable cockpit instruments.
- Limited options for a quick turnback in case of emergency, owing to the geographical limitations.
- Lack of guidance available over VHF in case of emergency.
