The plane was also stuck in air turbulence on May 21
Let us tell you that earlier on 21 May 2025, an Indigo Airlines plane going from Srinagar to Delhi was stuck in serious trouble due to turbulence and hail. This damaged the nose radome of the plane, which protects the radar antenna. This plane was landed safely at Srinagar. There were more than 220 passengers and crew members on the plane. The pilot issued a 'PAN PAN' (emergency call) to Srinagar ATC and landed the plane safely with the help of radar vector. The autopilot turned off, and several important systems such as angle of attack sensor, alternate law protection, and backup speed scale warned of malfunction. The pilot manually controlled the plane.
What is air turbulence?
Air turbulence is the sudden and irregular shaking or jolting of an aircraft during air travel. Strong wind currents in the upper atmosphere, thunderstorms (cumulonimbus) or hailstorms can cause turbulence. Sudden changes in wind speed and direction can also cause turbulence. It is usually considered normal during flight, but its severity can vary. To avoid this, one should always wear a seat belt during flight as turbulence can occur suddenly.
