Notify PAF Aircraft Crashes

Training aircraft down after take off on the runway of Islamabad airport

It was a Cessna 172, with two trainee pilots n a instructor on board.
The reason for the crash was jet wash, as it was taking off behind a wide body passenger airliner n the small size of the 172 could not take the turblance.

One of the pilots is seriously injured, plz pray for him.

The controller does have a play in this as they are responsible for ensuring ample spacing between flights.

Alas! If only we had the benefit of retrospect in our daily lives in form of premonitions.......
Chaklala AP is one busy AP from a training prospective as their r two flying clubs along with some three PAF sqds opp from the same AP/one runway n the same air space.
U can can see constantly c130, CN235, Il 76, G IV, citation, Cessnas n other small training ac, in circuit, doing touch n gos. The pattern on most days is full.

In such congested air space, where controller r pressed for time, things like these happen

Regardless, even the busiest airports in the world(where we have an idea of Jet wash instilled onto ATC).. separation is kept between larger and smaller aircraft. The pilot too should have kept this idea in mind. At least 2 minutes of separation is needed to safely avoid Jetwash.

Exactly.
One more thing is that in Chaklala controller sits way far from tarmac/flight lines. He has no visual, radios are everything there. It could be both pilot's fault and/Or miscommunication b/w control tower and pilot(s).

I recall two C-130's accident at Chaklala in 1990s, the controller lady played her role in the crash too. It was pilot error/by-passing SOPs/flight safety and following wrong procedures.

Agree, since the pilot himself was on the runway, he should have known what aircraft departed for him for adequate distance between the two planes. Isb isn't exactly a big airport, doesn't even have proper taxiways/parallel runways. They were luck that the plane crashed from a small height and survived. Kudos to the Cessna's structure.

Better build than your average jap crap.

Sqd. Ldr. Tanvir Ahmed martyred in Mirage crash near Gadap Karachi. Inna Lillah Wa Innah Alaihay Rajaeoon

KARACHI: A Pakistan Air Force (PAF) pilot was killed after his Mirage aircraft crashed on the outskirts of Karachi on Friday evening during a routine night training mission.

The PAF Mirage aircraft crashed 48 kilometers outside Karachi near Gadap Town. There was no loss of civilian life or damage to property on the ground.

The PAF, while identifying the pilot as Squadron Leader Tanvir Ahmed, added that an inquiry has been ordered by the Air Headquarters to determine the cause of the crash.

Following the incident, the area was surrounded by law enforcement agencies as well as officials and personnel of the PAF. Fire tenders and ambulances were also immediately dispatched to the spot since the plane had exploded and caught fire soon after the crash. Helicopters were also called in to participate in the rescue and relief operation.

The incident took place in a mountainous area known as Jenai close to the Balochistan border. The incident took place away from the residential and commercial areas, hence minimising damage to civilians.

This is the third such incident in recent months.

Earlier on October 1, a PAF fighter aircraft crashed near Kuchlak, a suburb of Quetta due to a technical fault. The pilot sustained minor injuries as the aircraft crashed in an open area. No loss of life was reported.

On September 20, two pilots were wounded after their MFI-17 Mushshak aircraft—fixed gear trainer aircraft, crashed near the hills of Ziarat, about 40-kilometres off Khalid Airbase
