We'll never know
This photo is about two years old and ths guy is one of the best pilots i know,a pro dogfighter...PAF doesnt grounds pilots on whom it has spent so much just bcuz of a picture..PAF pilots fly above villages on low heights u cant even imagine so there's no big deal in that.
P.S a pilot's life is always in danger and so is the a/c.
open the canopy and do ur hajat while flying at angels 20
why would u ask such a lame question?
P.s Did i ever mention i am a fighter pilot? i dont think so
Our crash inquiries are somehow confidential. We get information through unofficial sources which may or may not be accurate. leads to sensationalism.Being involved with DoT inquiries, they are very hard hitting. No less than seven agencies & two external blind-folded auditors are involved as standard. A hard hitting inquiry is moral boosting, otherwise they end up as black-holes.
Speculation is futile in this matter. What we do know so far is that the pilot slammed into a hill.
A sort of relatable incident is when the PN lost an orion over the sea a few years ago during mock exercises against the then new 90b. All hands were lost and many at the time(even those within the force but not in that branch) were quick to blame the pilot for it as MaD(Magnetic Anomaly Detector) runs are done at around 200-100ft.
From what I recall hearing of it(and I could be mistaken or basing my info on early investigation) was that the aircraft had begun its Anomaly run at the usual altitude or less as the 90b is still a damn quiet sub the pilot dropped to the altitude. Now these were non upgraded orion and they have very rudimentary autopilots if any so the pilot has to constantly keep his hands there or trim the aircraft perfectly. That day, during a run while they were trying to corner the 90b the orion slammed into the water. You could blame the pilot for making an error as an error at 100ft is not forgivable especially by a large turboprop, but as it turned out after recovery of the box; the outer engine on the aircraft had failed just during that run and besides losing altitude sent the aircraft into asymmetric yaw and it cartwheeled into pieces. The time between engine failure to impact took less than 5 seconds.
@Rashid Mahmood might be able to shed some light.
I think u didnt properly read what i said..Rules are rules. Period. If the best of the best and the pro's don't follow them, what example do they set for the rest?

Actually they do at times(not the reason but without warning), you're in a turboprop around 100ft- anything from sea spray to just poor fuel can cause it.Hi,
What do you think about the failed engine---they don't go out just like that during flight without warning---do they?

They are not common, can be maintenance errors, crew error or just plain Murphy's lawTurboprop must not fail like this. Such engines should be vulnerable for contained or un-contained failures at liftoff.

Not trying to correlate issue but the basic point of Murphy's law. It could be anything from poor maintenance to bas fuel to spray..No-1 whirl failure is engine-mount issue. Not relevant to engine. Usually at >400 mph.Not relevant to PN issue.
No-2 turboprop have known limitations at rapid ascent to altitude & higher speeds.
No-3 Again the turboprop vulnerability at higher mph.
Reports coming of another F-7 doing and pilot injuredNot trying to correlate issue but the basic point of Murphy's law. It could be anything from poor maintenance to bas fuel to spray..
The basic issue is that pilot error or lack of reaction can get the best as well
Sully was a good example of how air investigators can reach poor conclusions without factoring in the human
