He had landed on this airfield as many as 27 times, including this year. The probe will also look into human error, if any. About lessons from the Mangaluru airport tragedy from 10 years ago, in almost the same circumstances, Puri said it was too early to make the comparison given how long back that had happened.Typically, every flight has an alternative airport as destination, for emergencies, with enough fuel stocked for the same.

The policy was renewed in April with an annual premium of around $ 30 million, sources said. Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau has recovered Digital Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder from the aircraft.

The probe will also look into human error, if any. “It would be inappropriate to comment on the cause or come to any conclusion,” he said, adding that they would go through the Digital Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder that had been retrieved.According to information sourced from flight tracking portal Flightradar24, after coming in from over the Arabian Sea, the aircraft crossed the airport at about 6,000 feet while dropping 1,000 feet every minute, then made a loop around, after which it attempted a landing from the east end of the runway. ''Tail-winds add to your ground-speed once you touch down,'' says a senior pilot who has operated dozens of flights into Kozhikode Airport. ''Flightradar 24 shows the aircraft at 176 knots or 325 kmph at an altitude of approximately 450 feet above the surface of the runway,'' said air safety expert Captain Amit Singh. He said it was their sheer luck that there was no fire, despite the plane fuel mixing with the rain water to create a large area of slick.Saithalaivi K C, a member of the local Pallikkal panchayat, said, “When the news reached us, we did not think about the virus. Early inputs from the airport and air traffic control officials indicate the aircraft touched down way beyond where it should have on the runway.

A senior Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) official said it landed beyond the 3,000-feet mark, when it should have ideally done so no further than the 500-feet mark.

It was India's worst passenger aircraft accident since 2010.

Twenty-two others, who were on the flight that had 190 people on board, are serious. A senior Airports Authority of India (AAI) official said the wet condition of the runway due to the rain could have made it even more difficult for the crew to bring the plane to a halt in time.

Landing with a tail-wind component in rainy conditions with a wet runway is often challenging.

Pilots need to assess wind conditions, the runway surface condition, the landing distance required, the all-up weight of the aircraft, the density of the air and the presence of wind-shear or unexpected and difficult to detect wind conditions, potentially at low altitudes.If IX-1344 floated over the surface of the runway and touched down late, the pilots onboard would have had the option of performing a go-around, where they would bring the aircraft to full power and lift off once again.
