Probe team being sent to the spot, says Jyotiraditya Scindia
A trainer aircraft skidded off the runway while taking off at the Dhana airstrip in Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar district on Saturday afternoon but the trainee pilot who was flying solo did not suffer any injuries, police said. The Cessna 172 belonged to Chimes Aviation, a private institute which had been banned from using the airstrip, 20 km from here, after one of its aircraft crashed last year and two people onboard were killed. But the ban was lifted later. The incident took place around 3 p.m. on Saturday. Rahul Sharma, Chimes Aviation’s local administrator, told PTI that the 22-year-old trainee pilot was safe.More Related News
