Technical snag caused crash: Cessna pilot

Kanpur: The pilots of the ill-fated Cessna aircraft blamed the overhauled engine that stalled seconds after take off, leaving them with no option but crash land in densely populated residential pocket.
Even the two-member team from air safety wing of Director General Civil Aviation (DGCA) found a technical snag in the overhauled engine responsible for the crash, said sources. Two days after the plane crashed, one of two pilots and MD of Garg Aviations, Vijay Kumar Garg, broke his silence.
“In normal circumstances, the plane must had ascended to a height of 400 feet but it could touch a height of just 100 feet at the time of engine failure,” Garg told HT. The aircraft went into free fall mode and they hadn’t much time to turn and crash land at the civil aerodrome, he said.
