It was a twin-seat variant and both the pilots ejected during their take-off run.
Bengaluru:
Highlights
- 2 pilots were killed during the fighter jet's take-off run at HAL runway
- Unclear at what stage of the take-off run did the pilots decided to eject
- Investigation into the cause of accident has been ordered
The Indian Air Force has confirmed that two senior pilots were killed after they ejected from a Mirage 2000 fighter during its take-off run at the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) runway in Yemalur in Bengaluru Friday morning.
The pilots have been identified as Squadron Leader Sameer Abrol and Squadron Leader Siddartha Negi, a statement by the HAL said.
The incident took place at 10.30 am. The Mirage 2000 is equipped with 'zero-zero' (zero speed, zero altitude) ejection seats which enable the pilots to bail out even if the aircraft is on the ground and is not moving. It is unclear at what stage of the take-off run the fighter was in when the pilots decided to eject.
The aircraft was on an acceptance sortie after an upgrade by the HAL.

The state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) makes and upgrades aircraft for training and combat operations of the IAF as the country's sole defence behemoth. It also maintains and operates the military airport in Bengaluru.

Mirage Crash: Sam & Sid, Let Down by a Vote-Hungry Establishment
KP Sanjeev KumarUpdated: 03H 14M AGO

17k ENGAGEMENT
What We Know
An Indian Air Force (IAF) Mirage 2000 crashed during takeoff on 1 February 2019 at about 10: 30 am IST. The aircraft was under acceptance test flight after an upgrade program. Sources indicate that State-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) was involved in deliverance of the upgrade. This was the second or third acceptance sortie.
Test pilots manning the ill-fated flight, Sqn Ldr Samir Abrol and Sqn Ldr Siddhartha Negi, both alumni of the 40th Flight Test Course (FTC) from Air Force Test Pilots School, Aircraft & Systems Testing Establishment (ASTE), IAF, Bengaluru perished in the crash. They leave behind families (and testers like me) who are still coming to terms with the terrible tragedy. The IAF and ASTE are doing their best to assist the bereaved while an investigation is underway.

What Sources Reveal
The aircraft was on a test flight in ‘heavy’ configuration with drop tanks. Soon after unstick (high speed, when the aircraft lifts off from the runway), there has been some event which forced the aircraft back onto the runway. There is no such thing as a safe ‘Reject Takeoff’ after unstick. So the TPs must have had to make split-second decisions – something crew of that Mirage were well trained to do. The main landing gear (MLG) reportedly collapsed on impact and the aircraft careened on the runway till it tore through the arrester barrier at other end of the runway.
As per reports, the aircraft skidded on its belly/drop-tanks, maintaining almost centreline alignment till barrier engagement at the opposite dumbell.
This is not surprising. Test pilots don’t earn their graduation badges easy. They are top-of-the-game aviators.

What Can be Inferred
News reports and official press releases indicate that both pilots ejected. They seem to have ejected after going through the arrester barrier. That’s a significant detail. Arrester barriers are terrible speed breakers; there for a reason.
At least one of them (Sqn Ldr Siddharth Negi, as per sources) landed on the flaming debris with his parachute. Sqn Ldr Samir Abrol also touched down within the explosion zone of the aircraft that went up in flames. This indicates ejection at slow speed, possibly after barrier engagement when momentum of the ill-fated aircraft was dissipated to a large extent. It is not clear whether any SGA (Soft Ground Arrester) or clearway helped break the aircraft momentum.
Any premature inferences pointing towards “pilots ejected but landed on the flaming debris and died” must be treated with circumspection.
As per accepted protocol, any aircraft out of upgrade/modernisation has to be first test flown by OEM/HAL test pilots. Only after they are completely satisfied is the aircraft offered for ASTE acceptance. Standing watch between these processes are many watch dogs who must answer for the crash that claimed national resources (CRE/CRI/RCMA/CEMILAC). There is no room for complacency. Remember, there have been precedences (Saras, ”idly Avro’, IJT, etc.)

An investigation is underway. ASTE functions under protocols widely different from frontline squadrons. Flight testing is inherently risky, made no easier by agencies who have scant regard for safety and human lives. We must await the results turned out by the CoI.
Meanwhile, please do not get misled by tweets and trolls who try to exact mileage out of this unfortunate accident, replaying the Modi-RaGa-Rafale scam-mongering. That will be the biggest disservice to Samir and Siddharth – two young test pilots who laid down their lives struggling with legacy equipment, and a recalcitrant establishment who have their eyes on votes and tweets more than the real stuff that ails our armed forces today.
Test crew are a national resource. Don’t reduce them or the organisations they represent to the denomination of your petty political squabbles and Twitter wars.
We are just two weeks away from Aero India 2019. Walk the talk. Let science, analyses and thorough investigation prevail. That’s the best tribute you can pay these fallen air warriors.
Blue skies, Sam & Sid. We will never forget your sacrifice.

Indian Air Force's Mirage 2000 crashes in Bengaluru
NEW DELHI: Indian Air Force's Mirage 2000 has crashed at HAL airport, Bengaluru. Reports are coming in that two pilots have perished in this unfortunate incident.
The aircraft was being flown by two test pilots of the Indian Air Force. Squadron Leader Siddhartha Negi and Squadron Leader Samir Abrol were taking the plane for an acceptance test flight after it had been upgraded by the HAL there. Both pilots were from Aircraft and Systems Testing Establishment.
A rescue operation was launched by the authorities. One of the two pilots died after managing to eject from the plane but he fell on the debris itself. The other pilot was rushed to hospital but succumbed to his injuries, senior IAF sources told ANI.
The IAF statement states that the Mirage 2000 trainer aircraft was on an acceptance sortie after upgrade by HAL and an investigation into the cause of accident is being ordered.
The crash comes barely four days after an Indian Air Force's Jaguar fighter plane crashed in Kushinagar, UP, on January 28.
Slew of crashes
A MiG 27 crashed near Jodhpur's Banad area on September 4, 2018.
On June 5, 2018, Air Commodore Sanjay Chauhan passed away after his Jaguar fighter plane went down in the Mundra taluk of the Kutch region in northwestern Gujarat. This was the second alarming incident in the month of June 2018 with an Indian Air Force Jaguar.
A Sukhoi 30 MKI fighter jet has crashed near Nashik in Maharashtra on June 27, 2018.
On June 8, 2018, Indian Air Force's 'Jaguar' developed a snag while landing and had a minor accident. The pilot was on a routine training mission from the Jamnagar Air Force base.
Before these two successive Jaguar crashes, an IAF Cheetah helicopter crash landed at Natha Top in Jammu and Kashmir on May 23. The helicopter, too, was on a routine sortie and a court of inquiry was ordered.
On March 20 this year, an Advanced Hawk Jet (AJT) trainer, crashed on the Subarnarekha River bed along Jharkhand and Odisha's border.

根据印度空军发布的声明，这架教练机在位于班加罗尔的印度斯坦航空公司机场举行改造升级后的飞行训练时坠毁，机上两名飞行员都设法弹射逃生，但其中一人不幸落在坠机残骸上死亡，另一人身负重伤经抢救无效死亡。
印度国防部已下令对坠机原因展开调查。
印度空军近几年频繁发生坠机事故。印度空军一架“美洲虎”战斗机今年1月28日在北方邦坠毁，所幸没有造成人员伤亡。
