A trainer aircraft operated by Redbird Flight Training Academy made an emergency landing on an agricultural field near Pete Sirur village in Chittapur taluk of Kalaburagi district on Sunday morning. There are no causalities nor is there any damage to the two-seater aircraft.
As per the information provided by an officer in Kalaburagi Airport, the aircraft developed technical glitches a few minutes after it took off from Kalaburagi Airport, forcing the pilot to make a landing on the agricultural field. The two crew members on board — the pilot instructor and a trainee — are both safe.
