The commander of the aircraft was an Indian instructor Capt. Jyothis and the Nepali pilot was undergoing multi-engine training with him. The instructor has primarily reported that the left engine of the piston multi-engine aircraft had failed moments after their takeoff because of which they had no time to return to the airfield and had to make a forced landing on water. The Captain’s decision to ditch in shoreline saved the lives as the local rescue teams could act immediately in the crash site. The aircraft was already 6 feet underwater while the rescue team reached the site but were able to rescue every individual success in a short moment.
