Overview
- Pilots declared a Mayday at 1:14 pm IST and carried out a forced landing around 1:20 pm in open farmland near Jalda/Kansor, several kilometers short of Rourkela.
- Two pilots and four passengers were on board; all were rescued and hospitalized with no fatalities reported, though local officials gave differing accounts of injury severity for the captain.
- Emergency responders, police, fire services, and nearby residents assisted at the scene, with patients taken to JP Hospital and Rourkela Government Hospital.
- Aviation fuel leaked at the site, prompting a cordon and access restrictions, and the aircraft sustained front-section and landing-gear damage without a post-landing fire.
- The DGCA and AAIB were notified and are dispatching teams, as IndiaOne Air and state authorities coordinate assistance and the cause remains under investigation.
