IAF Pilatus PC-7 Crash Kills Two Pilots in Hyderabad

In a recent incident in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, a Pilatus PC-7 Mk II aircraft belonging to the Indian Air Force (IAF) crashed, resulting in the deaths of two pilots, an instructor and a cadet. The accident occurred near Ravelli village, Toopran, in Medak district, during a routine training sortie from the Air Force Academy in Hyderabad. Following the crash, the IAF has initiated a Court of Inquiry to investigate the cause of the accident; meanwhile, Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh expressed his condolences to the families of the deceased pilots. The aircraft, a Swiss-manufactured trainer, has had a history of five accidents since 2008, prompting the IAF to cancel orders for 38 of these planes, replacing them with India-made HAL-HTT 40 trainer aircrafts.
