Notify PAF Aircraft Crashes

Mushtaq has good glide characteristics....the only worry of trying to do a dead stick landing in the fields is that the ac can very easily flip over due the uneven nature of the surface plus the obstacles that come in the way specially the mud field dividers aka "bunias"

... And you can also imagine....

Clear night sky, full of stars with big moon..... That's in the sky, but then you see the same image in the sea, below the horizon as well....

So what you see is, stars all around you, two moons..... No horizon visible to naked eye..... That's where you've got to trust your instruments.
Was that thunder crashed at night or day time ??
 
... You can imagine night time, with the border line between sea and sky not clear at horizon.

Same is the case in bad weather as well....

Point is, the pilot becomes unsure of his aircraft position relative to ground.....

Pilots are therefore trained to trust their instruments at all costs in such conditions. But then, you pay the price if you don't.

I still remember, that JF17 over Arabian Sea, was flying normally, but once it crashed, the altitude loss rate was horrendous enough..... thousands of feet in a few seconds, almost went nose down....

No may day call, nothing.
Hi,

Optical illusion or visual spatial illusion during night time flying.

Terrain collision radar and recovery systems are a must in all aircraft---.
