AAIB Reports Garg Aviation's Non-Compliance in Flight Data Monitoring After Kanpur Crash
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) released a preliminary report on the August 27 Kanpur crash of a Garg Aviation training aircraft, finding that the flying training organisation failed to comply with flight data monitoring requirements and lacked a standard operating procedure for such monitoring. The AAIB noted Garg Aviation conducted random Garmin data checks without maintaining records or defined exceedance limits. The report recommends the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) enforce strict adherence to monitoring protocols and issue detailed guidelines as part of training manuals. Both occupants died in the crash, and no distress call was made before the accident.
