  "account": "On Sunday, a training aircraft operated by Carver Aviation crash-landed at the Baramati airstrip in Maharashtra's Pune district, according to police. The incident occurred around 12:30 pm, and no casualties were reported. The mishap marks a somber recurrence at the same location, as it was the site of a fatal crash seven months prior.\n\nSeven months ago, Ajit Pawar, the then-NCP deputy chief minister of Maharashtra, died in a crash during a landing attempt at the Baramati airstrip. This time, the private charter plane, a Cessna 172 (VT SEX), skidded while landing, as reported by SP Sandip Singh Gill of the Pune police. Two individuals were on board the aircraft - Carver Aviation employees.\n\nA similar incident transpired at the Baramati airstrip in May 2022, when a training aircraft belonging to Redbird Flight Training Academy crash-landed. The sole occupant, a trainee pilot, survived the crash. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is set to deliver its final report by next January.",
