Unlike modern aircraft with their sophisticated systems and computer-mediated controls, the MiG-21 was pure aviation. The connection between the pilot and the machine was magical.
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.
The civil aviation ministry could have recognised the enormity of the Air India crash and prepared the AAIB and its investigating team for its sensitivities.
Contract for construction of four MILGEM-class ships was signed in 2018. PNS Bedir is to be delivered by June 2026, while PNS Tariq is due for delivery in first quarter of 2027.
If Pathaan gave both conservatives and liberals room to hide, Dhurandhar extends no such courtesy. Aditya Dhar ripped open that tent of hypocrisy and turned the knife.
