Airplane crashed in Gujarat
A well-trained pilot was killed when a small aircraft belonging to a private aviation training institution crashed in a residential area in the Amreli area of ​​Gujarat. The deceased was identified as Aniket Mahajan, who was training in a solo at the time of the accident. Witnesses reported that the plane suddenly sniffed and fell into the ground, causing a huge explosion in the impact. The explosion caused panic and fear among residents living nearby, many of whom panic.
The flames engulfed the crash site and thick smoke emerged from the wreckage. An emergency team from the fire brigade and local police quickly arrived at the scene and began the rescue operation. Despite their efforts, Mahayan still cannot save it. Officials confirmed that no civilians were injured on the ground during the crash. The training aircraft belongs to the Private Pilot Training Academy, which operates several such solos in part of its course.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation, and the technical team is expected to check for possible mechanical failures, human errors or weather-related issues. The incident again raised concerns about safety protocols, followed by private flight schools in Gujarat. It happened just months after another crash, involving a female pilot trained in the outskirts of Mesana village. In this case, the pilot was only slightly injured and rescued in time. Authorities have blocked the crash site and launched a formal investigation. The Civil Aviation Administration (DGCA) is expected to initiate an investigation to determine the exact circumstances that led to the fatal collapse.
Major cities such as Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Mehsana, Rajkot and Amreli host some flight training institutions that cater to domestic and international students. Organizations such as Vadodara, Ahmedabad Air and Aviation Ltd. (AAA) and Captain Sahil Khurana Aviation Academy in Mehsana are well-known names that provide commercial pilot license (CPL) and private pilot license (PPL) training.
According to the Civil Aviation Authority, Gujarat has multiple approved flight training organizations (FTOS), with 300 to 400 trainees participating each year. These academies operate small aircraft such as the Cessna 152 and 172s, and training usually includes a single flight time, off-road navigation and simulator meetings. With the growing demand for commercial pilots in India, the state’s enrollment rate has increased steadily. The Civil Aviation Administration (DGCA) supervises training schools for these regulations.
