Instead of landing the plane on the runway of the Nagpur airport, a trainee lady pilot landed the plane on the ‘taxi way’ in Mihan. This incident, took place at around 1 pm on Tuesday.
A woman pilot of Indira Gandhi Flight Academy took off from Gondia’s Birsi Airport for Nagpur Airport at around 12 noon on Tuesday. After reaching the Nagpur Airport, this small training aircraft had to return to Gondia Airport after some time. Meanwhile, the plane lost contact with the Air Traffic Controller (ATC). So ATC started searching for the exact location of this plane. Meanwhile, the woman pilot who was piloting the plane landed on the ‘taxi way’ adjacent to the MRO in the Mihan-Sez area near the airport around 1 pm. Fortunately, the taxiway was smooth and a major accident was avoided.
