              The saras Accident report-  A dissent note.   Whilst collecting material for a feature on prospective Indian Civil aircraft I came across the DGCA report  “The Final report on the investigation on the accident to the NAL Saras PT2 aircraft VT-XRM at Sheshagirihalli near Bidadi’ Karnataka on 6 th  March 2009”  report dated  6 December 2009. The full report of 75 pages is available at dgca.nic.in/accident reports. I understand that there are no other reports available to the public. I am uneasy with the findings of the report and its recommendations because of the following: i)                     The report does not explain the type of wreckage or the wreckage “foot print”. In addition the report does not seem to have investigated the following: ii)                   The configuration of the aircraft ( rear engine T tail turboprop) iii)                  “deep stall” iv)                  flat spin” v)                    The possibility of the CG position of the aircraft hav
