1 CIVIL AVIATION AIRCRAFT ACCIDENT SUMMARY FOR THE YEAR INTRODUCTION The information contained in the publication is 62 nd in the series. "Notifiable accidents", which took place in India during the year 2011, have been listed in a classified chronological order along with the summary and the cause of the accidents. There have been Eleven accidents during the year. Four accidents have been investigated by Inspector of Accidents, and remaining seven by Committee of Inquiry. Six of the accidents proved fatal wherein forty three persons died including twelve crew members, twenty eight passengers and three other. Incidents such as precautionary landings, forced landings, aborted takeoff, air misses, bird strikes etc. are not listed in this publication, although all these have been investigated. The recommendations emanating from all such investigations of accidents and incidents are being implemented for enhancing the level of air safety. Statistical data of accidents and fatalities in respect of airlines operations including flying clubs and aerial operations is given in table 1 to 13. NOTE: All timings given in this publication are in IST (Indian Standard Time). 1

2 i) Accident 2. DEFINITIONS accident shall mean an occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft which, (i) (ii) in the case of a manned aircraft, takes place between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight until such time as all such persons have disembarked; or in the case of an unmanned aircraft, takes place between the time the aircraft is ready to move with the purpose of flight until such time as it comes to rest at the end of the flight and the primary propulsion system is shut down, in which a) a person is fatally or seriously injured as a result of (i) being in the aircraft, or (ii) direct contact with any part of the aircraft, including parts which have become detached from the aircraft, or (iii) direct exposure to jetblast, except when the injuries are from natural causes, self inflicted or inflicted by other persons, or when the injuries are to stowaways hiding outside the areas normally available to the passengers and crew; or b) the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure which- (i) adversely affects the structural strength, performance or flight characteristics of the aircraft, and (ii) would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component, except for failure of engine or damage, when the damage is limited to a single engine,(including its cowlings or accessories),to propellers, wingtips, antennas, probes, vanes, tires, brakes, wheels, fairings, panels, landing gear doors, windscreens, the aircraft skin (such as small dents or puncture holes), or for minor damages to main rotor blades, tail rotor blades, landing gear, and those resulting from hail or bird strike(including holes in the radome);or c) the aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible.

6 SCHEDULED OPERATION Aircraft Type A320 Registration A9C-AG 02. Date and Time 29 th August 2011, 0354 IST 03. Location Cochin 04. Persons on Board Crew 02 Passengers Injury Index Fatal Serious Minor/None Crew Passenger 07 Others 06. Damage to Aircraft Substantial Damage 07. License Bahrain State License Pilot-in- Age 35 Command Total Hrs 7000 Hours SUMMARY On , M/s Gulf Air A320 aircraft A9C-AG scheduled to operate flight GFA 270 (BAH-COK) was involved in runway excursion. During landing on runway 27 at Cochin, the aircraft landed right of centerline near the edge of runway 27 and rolled off the runway paved surface and went on to the soft ground. Aircraft covered a distance of 1235 meters from threshold before coming to a halt. All the passengers evacuated safely and there were no injuries. There was no evidence of pre and post impact fire. The Probable cause of the accident: The runway excursion was caused due to an error of judgment of PIC during landing which was due to loss of situational awareness during reduced visibility conditions. 6

7 NON-SCHEDULED OPERATION Aircraft Type MI-172 Helicopter Registration VT PHF 02. Date and Time 19 th April 2011; 1352IST Approx 03. Location Tawang Civil Heliport 04. Persons on Board Crew 04 Passengers Injury Index Fatal Serious Minor/None Crew Passenger Others 06. Damage to Aircraft Destroyed 07. License Rule 160 Pilot-in- Age 60 years Command Total Hrs 4800 hours SUMMARY On M/s PHHL MI-172 helicopter was operating flight from Guwahati to Tawang. During final approach at Tawang, the co-pilot cautioned the pilot to check the height. About 1-2 seconds prior to accident the last transmission was clear up, clear up. There after the left undercarriage of the helicopter impacted on the edge of the table top helipad with slight left bank and low speed. Subsequently the helicopter rolled over to left and the rotors hit the beginning of the helipad and broke off. Within seconds, the helicopter was engulfed in a thick black smoke and caught fire. Probable cause of the accident: The accident was caused because the helicopter undershot the helipad by about 27 meters and sunk below the height of the helipad by about a meter. The forward movement and the slow rate of descent caused the left oleo leg to shear off. This gave a slight left bank to the helicopter. The slight bank and the increase in the rotor thrust increased the angular momentum of the helicopter to such an extent that the bank increased from 5 to 85 in one second. The main rotors hit the beginning of the helipad causing the rotors to break. There being a steep slope adjacent to the helipad, the helicopter slid on this slope and almost turned over on its back after the accident. Subsequently the helicopter caught fire and was totally destroyed. Contributory Factors to the Accident: 1. Inadequate use of Met resources had contributed to the accident. Aircrew had disregarded the local QNH and temperature given by Tawang Control. 2. The AUW was above the stipulated limit given in the Flight Manual for Category A operation. 7

8 NON-SCHEDULED OPERATION Aircraft Type Ecureuil AS 350 B3 Registration VT PHT 02. Date and Time 30 th April 2011; 1030IST 03. Location Near Lubuthang, Arunachal Pradesh 04.

The pilot was not able to stop the aircraft within left over length of runway and fell in a ravine approximately 60 feet deep at the end of runway breaking two Localizer antennas. While plunging in the ravine the right wing strut hit a tree which changed the direction of the aircraft and saved the aircraft from consequential damage and injuries to passengers and crew. The pilot shut down the engines and thereafter assisted the rescue team in passenger evacuation. The Probable cause of the accident: The cause of the accident was inadequate skill level of the pilot to execute a safe landing during marginal weather condition. 9

The enroute flight was uneventful from Gandhinagar till the time it was in contact with Ahmedabad ATC. While it was flying through Aravali hills range near Mt. Abu, it developed serious defect in the Main Rotor System which causes the helicopter to make sudden right turn and thereafter the helicopter impacted the ground with high force. After impact helicopter caught fire and all the four persons on board the helicopter died in the accident. Probable cause of Accident: 1. The accident occurred due to loss of control resulting from probable failure of Hydraulic Drag Dampers in flight which imposed excessive loads on the Blade Spacing System resulting in the failure of bolts/links. The severed spacing cable impacted and broke the pitch control rods, leading to loss of control of Helicopter. 2. Lack of oversight of Maintenance Activities of the AMOs was the contributory factor. 10

Due to impact and post impact fire the aircraft was completly destroyed and all seven persons on board the aircraft and three residents of the house on which it was crashed died in the accident. The Probable cause of the accident: The probable cause of the accident was attributed to departure of the aircraft from controlled flight due to an external weather related phenomenon, mishandling of controls, spatial disorientation or a combination of the three. 11
