Chopper Crash / Air Forces Court of Inquiry complete know why the helicopter fell victim to the accident

The Air Force's Court of Inquiry is almost complete in the last month's helicopter crash in Coonoor, Tamil Nadu. In this helicopter crash, 13 people including the country's first CDS General Bipin Rawat and his wife Madhulika Rawat were killed. The MI-17V5 aircraft of the Air Force had crashed in this accident. According to sources, the final report to the Air Force Chief is expected to be submitted in January.

However, no official statement has been given by the Air Force regarding the investigation of the helicopter crash so far. But if sources are to be believed, human or technical error is not included in the possible causes of the helicopter crash. According to this, such accidents happen when the pilot loses his attention or he is not able to predict the situation properly. Apart from this, it may also happen that the pilot inadvertently collided with some surface. Such a situation is called Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CIFT).

There was no technical glitch in the helicopter

Sources said that CIFT means that the helicopter was fit for flight and it was not the pilot's fault. He said that in this case it may be that the visibility in the Coonoor area has been reduced due to bad weather, due to which the accident happened. Significantly, CIFT is also one of the main causes of aircraft accidents globally. The investigation team has ruled out any possibility that there was any technical glitch in the helicopter. He says there was nothing wrong with the helicopter.

The investigation report will be submitted to the Air Force Chief

The Tri-Services Court of Inquiry is headed by Air Marshal Manvendra Singh, the country's top helicopter pilot in the armed forces. The Court of Inquiry was constituted by the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari. According to sources, it is expected that in a few days this report will be handed over to Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhary. Before the findings are presented, they will be legally examined to ensure that all protocols were followed in the investigation. The Investigation Team is currently taking advice from the Legal Department of the Air Force to confirm its investigation.
