Accident Sequence
The aircraft departed Mumbai-Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport Runway 27 at 0810 local time on a flight to Baramati. Eight minutes later, the crew contacted Baramati. The aircraft's next call was at 30 nautical miles inbound to Baramati, and the crew were released by Pune approach. They were advised to descend in visual meteorological conditions at the pilot's discretion, as Baramati is a non-controlled airport. The crew inquired about the winds and visibility and were informed that the winds were calm and the visibility was around 3 kilometers. The crew then reported on final approach to runway 11, but as the runway was not in sight, the crew initiated a go-around procedure. After this, the crew was asked about their position and they reported on final approach to runway 11. During this second attempt to land, the crew reported that 'runway is currently not in sight, will call when runway is in sight.' A few seconds later, the crew reported that the runway was in sight and was cleared to land at 0843 local time. The crew did not acknowledge this clearance, and the airplane crashed about a minute later short of runway 11, bursting into flames.
