What happened
During a routine local training mission conducted at Yellahanka Air Force Base, an aircraft experienced a loss of control following its landing. As the plane made contact with the runway, it underwent several consecutive bounces. This instability caused the aircraft to veer away from the designated runway path.
The excursion ended when the plane left the paved surface and came to a stop while engulfed in flames. The accident resulted in one fatality among the crew members, while the remaining two individuals sustained injuries during the event.
Findings
- The aircraft experienced multiple bounces immediately after touchdown.
- The loss of directional control led to the runway excursion and subsequent fire.
