Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) today ordered probe into emergency landing of a two-seater trainee aircraft belonging to Madhya Pradesh Flying Club in an agricultural field near Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport here last evening.
The single-engine Cesna-152 attempted landing at the airstrip of the flying club which is adjacent to the Airport, but failed. Then it landed in the agricultural field and overturned.
Pilot-trainer Captain Anand Vengulekar and trainee Arjun escaped with minor injuries, official sources said.
An official of the Madhya Pradesh Flying Club, Mandar Mahajan, denied reports that mishap took place because of poor maintenance; aircraft was forced to make emergency landing due to a sudden technical snag, he claimed.
