  "account": "On August 9, 2026, a private trainer aircraft operating in Maharashtra's Pune district skidded off the runway during a training exercise at the Baramati airstrip, according to police. No injuries were reported in the incident, which took place around 12:30 p.m. The accident occurred while the aircraft, a VT-SEX operated by Carver Aviation, was undergoing a rejected take-off procedure at the threshold of Runway 29. Despite lining up at the threshold, the aircraft could not be stopped and continued beyond the threshold, ultimately veering off the runway onto the grassy area to the right. The pilot and a cadet were onboard the VT-SEX aircraft, which was involved in the runway excursion following two previous crash landings at the Baramati airstrip in May and January.",
