The aircraft reportedly crossed the threshold of Runway 29 at the Baramati airfield, reaching around 20 feet beyond the end of the runway.
A private trainer aircraft crashed at the Baramati airstrip after skidding off the runway during a training exercise. The VT-SEX aircraft, operated by Carver Aviation, was part of a training session in Pune district, Maharashtra. Captain Chirag Shashikant Doifode and cadet Abhijeet Jundre were on board but escaped without injury.
The police explained that the mishap occurred due to the aircraft's failure to stop completely while taxiing along the runway, causing it to cross the threshold of Runway 29 and continue beyond the end of the runway.
