The AAIB blamed the crew’s decision to continue an unstable approach in poor weather for the September 2023 Learjet crash at Mumbai airport, where a Learjet 45XR (VT‑DBL) crashed while landing on runway 27 on 14 September 2023 on a non‑scheduled flight from Visakhapatnam, seriously injuring all eight people on board.
The investigation also found lapses in pilot training, record‑keeping and internal audits at VSR Ventures, the operator of the aircraft, and recommended that the DGCA conduct a one‑time check of all training records of fixed‑wing pilots in Non‑Scheduled/General Aviation organisations to verify mandatory simulator exercises.
