Who is responsible for the plane crash at Delhi airport?

It's human error in this case and the inexperience combined together. A serious laps on the part of aviation sector increasing by the day. 

Due to mistakes of some persons we are loosing technical and armed forces persons. If proper up gradation is done towards aviation sectors then these accidents can be reduced.

ATC, Air Traffic Control, saw the Aircraft turning left, instead of going towards Ranchi. ATC noticed, the Aircraft was losing altitude. It's an indication of failure of Engine.

 Despite all this it's too early to say pin pointedly the specific cause. It's only after the probe, the real cause for the mishap will be known

Yes real cause of mishap will be know after investigation, but it is not wrong that this plane was much old one.

Yes, the aircraft was an old one the Air Traffic Control detected that the aircraft has flying erratically. Then it lost the altitude

 

The aircrafts which are too old should be replaced with immediate action, so that further such accidents would be avoided. 

The 11 seater plane was inducted into the year 1995.Very old of course. It's only after the probe, the committee will decide whether, the aircraft has to be scrapped or with a few changes, the aircraft will be continued.

The Defence Minister yesterday stated that in the last decade procedures became more important than equipment, so replacing old aircraft is not going to be easy and will get tied down in procedure with the sword of corruption always hanging, decision making is a casualty and hapless passengers are paying with their life in an over populated country.

BSF said that the ill fated aircraft is airworthy. He further added that in the Aviation domain, an aircraft has a life of 40-45 years. Hence such a plane is not considered as Old. Required parts are changed from time to time. This aircraft has undergone overhauling at the Beachcraft ,Canada about six months back.

 As the news is pouring in , reasons for Aircraft collapse are coming into light..And until he probe is completed, we should weight.

Plane crashed, commitee is appointed for probe, in coming it will also come. What will be the result of probe, the  children who lost their father, the women who lost their husbands never get back.

This topic interests me immensely as I loggeed over 5000 flying ours on the slowest( HT-24) to the fastest MIG 27 aircraft. A study was carried out( while in service) and it was found that unlike the armed forces where there is no reservation , the BSF has 49% reservation on caste, leading to some poor material being inducted. This is also in the flying cadre.

Though it is too early to comment on this specific case, yet the fact remains that 90% of the crash take place due  to pilot error( lack of flying skill) and poor engineering maintenance. We had submitted report on this to DGCA. But as it is politically hot, it was brushed aside.

Even in the armed forces perhaps not known to many, teh Government is insisting on a proportional representation in Air Force in ground crew, resulting in 45% of the vacancies being filled from Bihar and UP. It happens that a man with a lower IQ from Bihar gets selected and a higher IQ man from Goa may not make the grade. All this is dangerous and now I am glad I am out and on a lucrative job, but somebody ( a great man) must clear the mess.

Incidentally an aircraft aftre upgradation has a life of 50-70 years. I have flown while in USA a DC-3 of WWII which was over 60 years old Handled beautifully. The clue is engineering mainenance which is poor in India and worse in BSF and para military.

I am saddened by this loss, and I hope we have a French revolution like in 1789 and this filth of Congress as well as BJP is thrown in Bay of Bengal or Arabian sea,a choice of the sea can be given to these two political hulks.

Very informative and thought provoking response from an experienced Flyer like you. I agree, none can be a better judge than a person like you. Not knowing the intricacies involved, Common man jumps to conclusions.In all, I feel the culprit is " Reservations". The outcome of these Reservations is misfits are entering the vital spheres like Army that protects the Country.

These evils are very well known to the Congress or BJP or any other politician. Despite this these political parties do not want to remove Reservations. All these Parties are interested in Vote Banks so that they can be in Power.

Te ground staff did not do the job properly as the plane lost height as soon as it was airborne and crashed into the wall. It could have been worse but for the pilot did his best efforts.
