  • Radar data, flight-path recordings, video footage, being reviewed.
  • Parallel check underway for possible power loss or control-system failure.
  • Incident marks first fatal flying-display accident in airshow’s history.
DUBAI: Investigators are examining whether the pilot who died in India's Tejas fighter jet crash at the Dubai Airshow descended below the mandatory 300-foot minimum altitude for aerobatic manoeuvres or breached any approved flying protocols, aviation officials said on Saturday.

The inquiry is being led jointly by the UAE’s civil aviation authority, the country’s armed forces aviation division, and the Dubai Airshow’s Flying Control Committee (FCC), which is reviewing all available technical data and display-routine documents.

Officials said investigators are analysing radar tracks, flight-path recordings, and high-resolution video footage to determine the jet’s altitude profile and maneuver sequence in the moments before impact.

The FCC is also assessing whether the pilot performed any aerobatic manoeuvres that had not been formally cleared for the show.

A parallel technical investigation is examining whether the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of power, a control-system malfunction, or another mechanical failure that may have prevented recovery.

The Dubai Airshow, held every two years since 1989, had not recorded a fatal flying-display accident until Friday’s crash, which killed the pilot and brought the day’s demonstrations to a halt.

Authorities say no determination will be made until all evidence — including cockpit-related data, maintenance logs, and approved display documentation — has been fully examined.


Ah this red parts caught our attention.

Dubai has not seen any accidents since 1989, that's a big deal.

Anyhow

Time to move on. The Indians are not honouring their polit.

Tejas is officially finished. It failed to show up when it mattered during the recent bloodbath. It's failed in the global market, and this was the final nail in the coffin.

Nobody will purchase this flying samosa.

It's finished.View attachment 161175

This time last year I was saying 2025 will be year Tejas dies. I did not mean them to take my words literally.....

That's the problem with you - you are comparing a plane that met an accident during the show, as I said even Pakistani pilot crashed a f16 plane during the rehersal - it does not mean that f16 is a bad fighter. Again, it's a high risk game - pilot pushed their selves to their limits and the aircraft.

I already said - more likely, it was a human error based on the available videos during the negative G-trun, since was flying very close to the ground and also comes about human body limitations.

What you are referring only can true if their a mechanical failure

Why you're in face saving mode today dude? it could be any thing from pilot error to mechanical/software problems let the investigation complete first but I'm afraid to say IAF could blame pilot only and will hide real cause from the people of India

Unprofessional behaviour from Indian Air Force.

What do you expect from a country that has not officially admitted any loses in May, 6 months after the event. This lack of transparency and accountability is actually the reason they will carry on being a farce of an air force

Why is your knee jerk reaction to start giving stats about Pakistan Air Force. Why not give stats about American, Russian, Norwegian, etc. Etc. air force incidents???... Why does Pakistan live in Hindutva minds rent free???

I’m trying to highlight that this is not a unique incident—air forces across the world, including those of the USA, Russia, and China, have experienced similar accidents during high-risk - air shows game If I were part of any of those defence forums, I would refer to their past incidents in the same way, simply to provide context and understanding. In most cases, it isn’t that the aircraft or the pilot is entirely at fault; often, a small error during a complex manoeuvre is enough to cause an accident in the show since they fly very close to the ground.
 
The only samosa flying will be the one flying into my mouth. The program is kaput.

The Americans knew what a turd this plane was... so they didn't really put much effort into making those India specific variants of the GE404.

And many people in India are rejoicing. Because now they will have no choice but to order more Rafales... and the French are most generous with kick-backs.

They claim ...

Indian Air Force Test Pilot School is considered the fifth such institution in the world. For overall air force power, the Indian Air Force (IAF) was ranked third globally in 2025 by the World Directory of Modern Military Aircraft (WDMMA), a position it earned by surpassing China.
  • Test Pilot School: The Indian Air Force Test Pilot School is a specialized training facility for flight test personnel and is one of only five such institutions globally, according to Wikipedia.
  • Overall Air Force Ranking: The IAF's overall strength was ranked third in the world by the WDMMA in 2025, making it more powerful than China's air force, which was ranked fourth, note Newsweek, Dhyeya IAS, and Medium.

He is referring to previous similar incidents where the cause was the same—the aircraft didn’t have enough height to safely perform that manoeuvre.
