Ajit Pawar Plane Crash: Landing Gear Malfunction or ILS Absence? New Details Emerge
- •Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar's plane crash raises questions about landing gear malfunction and the absence of ILS at Baramati airstrip.
- •Initial indications suggest the plane took a wide turn instead of a straight landing and made a second approach.
- •Aviation experts explain a 'second approach' as two landing attempts, possibly due to the pilot failing to align the plane with the runway initially.
- •Baramati airstrip lacks an Instrument Landing System (ILS), a radio-based guidance system crucial for precise landing, especially in low visibility.
- •The crash could be attributed to a combination of a small airstrip, absence of ILS requiring a visual approach, and a risky second landing attempt.
Why It Matters: Ajit Pawar's plane crash highlights potential issues with Baramati airstrip's lack of ILS and pilot's landing approach.
