AAIB Reports on 2025 Kedarnath Helicopter and 2023 Mumbai Learjet Crashes with Safety Recommendations
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) released reports on two major aviation incidents: the June 2025 Kedarnath helicopter crash that killed seven and the September 2023 Mumbai Learjet crash injuring eight. The Kedarnath crash was linked to the pilot's limited hill-flying experience, poor weather, and disorientation, prompting recommendations for mandatory hill training and improved air traffic communication. The Mumbai Learjet crash resulted from an unstabilised approach, poor airspeed monitoring, and delayed go-around amid adverse weather, with AAIB highlighting pilot training and operator oversight lapses and urging regulatory reviews.
