Plane Crash at Baramati Airport: Go-Around Maneuver Suspected Before Radar Disappearance

A fatal plane crash at Baramati Airport has left the table-top runway surrounded by debris and ash. Investigations reveal that the Bombardier Learjet-45, carrying Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, attempted a go-around maneuver before disappearing from radar during its second landing approach. The aircraft's tail section was the only relatively intact part visible amidst the burnt wreckage. While the fire was extinguished, the crash site remained a scene of intense activity with party workers, locals, officials, and investigation teams gathering evidence. The area, situated about 100 feet from the runway, is now marked by the tragedy that claimed the lives of four others on board, including the heir to the Pawar family's political legacy. Their bodies were severely burned, making identification difficult. Flight data indicates the aircraft was visible on radar shortly after departing Mumbai, disappearing near Baramati during its first landing attempt. It reappeared briefly before a second approach, where it was last seen before the crash. Analysis of flight path and altitude data suggests the plane was descending before the second approach, which involved a climb indicating a go-around maneuver. The aircraft then descended again and vanished from radar before the crash was reported.
