Baramati airfield is uncontrolled, which means traffic information is provided by instructors or pilots from flying training organisations in the area, Ministry of Civil Aviation said.
A look at AAIB’s 68 final reports on aircraft accidents shows a pattern of neglect & lapses in responsibility across all levels of airport management as well as regulatory oversight.
Lack of cockpit coordination & pilot disagreements, poor decision-making, lapses in judgement are mentioned among factors contributing to human error & complacency in 46 final reports.
Analysis shows that in at least 47% of 68 final reports, AAIB finds violations or lapses by operators & makes remarks about them. But they are not always directly linked to accidents.

Pilot associations in India and abroad have justifiably objected to how the report was spun. But not enough have asked: shouldn’t action be taken against those who leaked it?

It is far too early, indeed malicious, to blame the pilots of Air India flight. Let the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau do its work. The government must ensure zero interference.
