LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

[Master Chief]

Moments before crash, likely points to an engine snag, the aircraft seems to be structurally sound.

When was Bharat Shakti announced ?.. Was it a long planned exercise or a hastily put together one..?

 

[TopWatcher]

Crashed happened even with top notch of the world.

Not much need to be negative.

 

[Corvus Splendens]

Need to handle the accident like mature people.
The law of statistics will prevail, sooner or later.
When you are undertaking thousands of sorties an occasional failure is part of life.

The most advanced F35 has crashed more than once, Chinese fighters have regularly crashed, Su 35's have crashed, plenty of F16's have crashed etc. The list is long.

No doubt, some may say this accident happening just after India officially tested an MIRV tipped Agni 5 missile raises questions about whether our enemies have done mischief. But no need to go paranoid.

If we cannot accept and handle failures, then it is better to sit at home, do nothing and cry.

Do a thorough post mortem of the accident to arrive at the causes and implement whatever corrective measures are required.

We don't need to backslide but renew our faith in the LCA Tejas and go full stream ahead to induct the LCA mk1a.
Maybe the decision makers would like to wait for the result of the enquiry into the accident. No problem. A small delay only.

The Tejas LCA is a fine aircraft and there is nothing basically wrong with it.
A small speed breaker should not scare us.

The F-35 has nearly 30 crashes.

 

[Aniruddha Mulay]

wow worst case scenario. Now import air force will stall mk1a even more. But still they should find the cause and fix it. There are only 40 frames, so 1 crash looks very bad

The Govt shoved the intial 83 Tejas Mk1A order down their throats and the government would gladly do it again if there is a need

Did the Pilot Put on His RAYBAN after falling or was he wearing it while Flying

 

[Tuco]

And here comes the first two RR........................

The vultures are so quick, they have already stirred up a lot of shit. As if they had the text ready.

Not talking about RR.

how does it matter?

war also comes hastily it doesn’t ask if everything is ready may I come in… in fact its the opposite…

regarding crash seems like engine lost power due to ingestion of foreign object(flocks of birds may be)

By the sound of it the engine looks to be working fine ( maybe with less power )

loss of power is either due to FOC or Fuel mixture sabotage… nothings else

Ejection Seats Manufacturer is CELEBRATING

They do that everytime a pilot ejects using an MB ejector seat.

All international partners would do similar things to claim their part worked well in case of such crashes.

Exactly, if we aren't able to deal with crashes maturely and get to the root cause of the issue then forget about developing a 5th gen bird

yahan sabhi Tejas fans dukhi hai ki Tejas ka boni ho gaya lekin inka alag hi mauj chal raha hai

 

[Satish Sharma]

Pakistanis have gotten orgasm now..
Anyways just hoping for no civilian casualty.
And not sure what is reason behind crash but hope it's not something related to fly by wire. It will seriously stall program.
Some are saying engine let's see...
Finally first crash has happened.. ab kaise bologe no crash till 5k ..10k sorties..

Its our problem that we have made such basic thing as sign of Pride. As other members already mentioned, we don't know how to handle accidents and crashes here.

 

[omaebakabaka]

Glad the pilots are safe, good program so far with minimal accidents. Hope they get some good data to analyze and improve.

You have to do marketing for your product

It does matter if it's not wartime, and more diligence might have prevented the crash.. Anyway, no need to think too much about this.. LCA still has a very good flight safety record

 

[Master Chief]

Main thing is that Pilot is safe.. so no huge unwanted attention will be on LCA program..
