Baramati/Maharashtra,May 13: A training aircraft operated by Redbird company made an emergency landing in Baramati on Wednesday morning after developing a technical problem during a training session. The incident occurred near Gojubavi village, the same location where NCP leader Ajit Pawar’s plane had crashed months earlier.

According to preliminary reports, the trainee pilot encountered trouble around 8:40 am when the aircraft lost engine power while flying over the northern side of the village, about 1.5 kilometres from the main residential area. Despite the sudden mid‑air failure, the pilot managed to control the aircraft and land it safely in a nearby sugarcane field.

The emergency landing prevented a potential disaster, ensuring no harm to residents on the ground. Officials confirmed that no casualties or injuries were reported. However, the trainee pilot was said to be in shock following the incident.

Soon after the landing, local villagers rushed to the spot, followed by police personnel and administrative officials. Authorities immediately began investigating the cause of the technical failure. The focus of the probe will be on the reported engine malfunction and the circumstances that forced the pilot to make the emergency landing.
