Case Study : Sinus 912 Glider Incident at Dhanbad Airport

Case Study: Sinus 912 Glider Incident at Dhanbad Airport Dhanbad Airport, located in a small district of Jharkhand, India, is a modest domestic airport with limited facilities. It lacks essential infrastructure such as radio communication, an Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower, or a radar system. The only navigational aid present is a wind sock, which indicates wind direction. Despite these limitations, the Jharkhand Flying Institute (JFI) was operating glider aircraft from this airport, including the Sinus 912. On March 23, 2023, a series of events culminated in a significant aviation incident involving a Sinus 912 glider. This case study examines the operational details, the incident itself, and the subsequent investigation findings surrounding this event.
