At least 18 people died when Nepali plane crashed on take-off in Kathmandu

A small plane with 19 people on board crashed on take-off from Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, according to The Independent.

The plane was heading to Pokhara, Nepal’s second-largest city and a major tourist gateway for trekking and adventure sports. According to local media, the plane crashed around 11 a.m. local time on Wednesday.

An official spokesperson reported that 18 bodies were recovered from the crash site and the pilot sustained head injuries and was taken to hospital.

Premnath Thakur, spokesperson for Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport, said crew members were among the 19 people on board the aircraft. Local media also reported that a 9N-AME (CRJ 200) aircraft was carrying only technical staff of the airline and there were no passengers on board, quoting Gyanendra Bhul, information officer at Tribhuvan International Airport.

Eyewitnesses reported that during take-off the aircraft suddenly flipped over and its wing tip hit the ground, causing a fire. The aircraft then crashed into a gorge on the east side of the runway. The aircraft was reportedly taken to Pokhara for maintenance.

On January 15 last year, 72 people were killed when a twin-engine ATR 72-500 aircraft of Yeti Airlines crashed into a gorge while approaching Pokhara International Airport in the Himalayan foothills. The crash site was about 1.6 km from the runway, at an altitude of about 820 metres.

It was the deadliest plane crash in Nepal since 1992, when a Pakistan International Airlines Airbus A300 crashed into a hillside on the approach to Kathmandu, killing all 167 people on board.

A plane catches fire at Tribhuvan International Airport after takeoff.

At Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport, a disastrous plane crash claimed the lives of eighteen people. When tragedy struck, the aircraft, a Saurya Airlines CRJ200, was attempting to take off for Pokhara. The aircraft went off the runway, crashed into an embankment, and caught fire few minutes after takeoff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EoZSYdnn2U&pp=ygUTbmVwYWwgcGxhbmUgY3Jhc2hlcw Immediate Aftermath and Response Firefighters and the Nepali army were among the rescue teams that were on the area quickly. 18 out of the 19 people on board were officially declared deceased despite their best efforts. The pilot, the only survivor, was flown to a local hospital to receive medical attention. Both technical professionals and crew members were among the dead.

Statements from Officials and Eyewitnesses

Witnesses saw the aircraft attempt to climb but then deviate off the runway. Videos taken on the spot depict a large fire near the airport, accompanied by dense clouds of smoke. An official from Tribhuvan International Airport verified the order of events and said the plane caught fire because it didn't lift off correctly.

Tribhuvan International Airport's Challenges

The topography of Tribhuvan International Airport is notoriously difficult. Situated atop a plateau and surrounded by steep gorges and valleys, this airport is regarded as one of the riskiest in the world. The high level of risk associated with aircraft operations in Nepal is partly attributed to this geographical complexity.

Nepal's Difficult History of Air Safety

The aviation industry in Nepal has a track record of inadequate safety. There are a lot of accidents in this profession because of poor maintenance and training. This latest catastrophe raises the terrifying total of aviation mishaps in the nation.

The Historical Background of Nepal's Air Disasters

There have been other tragic aviation disasters in Nepal's past that bear similarities to this one. All 72 people, including five Indians, perished in the Pokhara crash of a Yeti Airlines aircraft in 2023. This tragedy was the deadliest to occur in Nepal since 167 people died in a Pakistan International Airlines plane crash near Kathmandu in 1992.

An investigation is ongoing.

It is still unclear what specifically caused the fire to spread throughout the Saurya Airlines aircraft. To ascertain the circumstances surrounding this unfortunate event, authorities are doing a comprehensive investigation. As the investigation proceeds, the aviation community and the victims' families are still waiting for answers.

In summary

The Tribhuvan International Airport jet tragedy highlights the critical need for strengthened safety protocols and stringent training in Nepal's aviation sector. In order to ensure safer skies for everybody, it is imperative that the structural problems that lead to these tragedies are addressed as the inquiry progresses. Read the full article

Nepal plane crash preliminary report: Investigators suspect human error

KATHMANDU: The Yeti Airlines aircraft which crashed in Nepal last month killing 71 people, including five Indians, lost thrust and fell after the propellers of both engines went into a feathered position, according to a preliminary probe report which lead investigators to suspect human error behind the deadly crash.

Yeti Airlines flight 691, after taking off from Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport on January 15, crashed on the Seti River gorge between the old airport and the new airport in the resort city of Pokhara.

There were 72 people including four crew members onboard the ATR-72 aircraft when it crashed, but rescue officials have so far managed to recover only 71 bodies with the other missing passenger presumed dead.

It is rare for the propellers of both engines to come to a feathered position, said one of the members of the five-member probe committee, which is also mentioned in the 14-page preliminary report posted on the website of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Civil Aviation of Nepal.

“Human factor in the accident could not be disregarded. So it is an issue of investigation,” said the member on condition of anonymity.

“When both propellers were feathered, the investigation team observed that both engines of 9N-ANC were running flight idle condition during the event flight to prevent over torque,” states the preliminary report.

“As per the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) all the recorded parameters related to engines did not show any anomaly,” adds the report.

“When Air Traffic Controller (ATC) gave the clearance for landing at 10:57:07, the Pilot Flying (PF) mentioned twice that there was no power coming from the engines,” the report further says.

“During the time of the crash, the prevailing visibility was 6 km and the sky was almost clear with only a few clouds,” points out the preliminary report.

According to experts, the pilots unintentionally pulled the condition levers causing the engine to shut down and feather the propellers. Each lever starts and stops the fuel supply, and controls the idle speed for its respective engine.

One investigator said that they found the levers pulled down at the crash site.“We are waiting for a detailed report. We cannot ascertain what happened before that,” said a probe committee member. “Yes, there is also the issue of flaps. There are questions about why the pilots delayed extending the flaps. The routine checklists were not followed.

There are many factors to look at,” Joint Secretary at the Tourism Ministry Buddhi Sagar Lamichhane - a senior member of the probe committee -- was quoted as saying by The Kathmandu Post newspaper.

As per International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), the state investigating an accident or incident must produce a preliminary report within 30 days of the accident.

The final report should be produced within 12 months of the accident.

According to the preliminary report, the flight crew had made two flights between Kathmandu and Pokhara earlier in the morning.

The flight that crashed was the third in a row by the same crew. There were two captains on the plane.

Captain Anju Khatiwada was in the process of obtaining aerodrome familiarisation for operating in Pokhara, and Captain Kamal KC was the instructor pilot on this training flight.

The take-off, climb, cruise, and descent to Pokhara were normal.

At 10:56:12, the pilots extended the flaps to the 15 degrees position and pushed the landing gear lever to the down position.

Khatiwada then disengaged the autopilot system at an altitude of 721 feet above the ground. Khatiwada then called for “FLAPS 30”, and Captain KC replied, “Flaps 30 and descending.” The flight data recorder (FDR) did not record any flap surface movement at that time.

Instead, the propeller rotation speed of both engines decreased simultaneously to less than 25 per cent and the torque, the force that causes an opposite rotation, started decreasing to zero per cent, which is consistent with both propellers going into the feathered condition, the report said.

When the propellers are feathered, they don't produce thrust that pushes the aircraft forward.

As per the flight data recorder, no recorded parameters related to the engines showed any anomaly.

When the air traffic controller gave the clearance for landing, Captain Khatiwada twice mentioned that there was no power in the engines.

The report said that the aircraft's airworthiness certificate was valid till April 24, 2023.

Nepal's investigators have received analytical support from Singapore's Transport Safety Investigation Bureau.

The airport, built with China's assistance, was hastily inaugurated and operated without adequate preparations to meet the January 1 project deadline.

Flight calibration, which tests all pieces of equipment at the new airport, has yet to recommend landing from the west.

The calibration report is due to be published on February 26. The flight procedure has not been published either. Airlines have very little information about airport procedures and data, according to experts.

The AAIC has stated that further investigation will focus on the circumstances under which both propellers went into the feathered condition, human factors, and visual approach procedures, including simultaneous operation of both national and international airports, according to media reports.
