According to bdnews24.com bangla version, There is a helipad in erulia, Bogra, where small plane can also take off.

But as far as I know, there is a complete air port for BAF in Bogra. A full functioning radar station is also present there.

Shukr Alhamdulillah that the pilots in the accidents are safe. Reading your post, it seems the plane was landing at the smaller runway either due to an emergency or the pilots were learning how to land in a small length runway.

A training aircraft of Bangladesh Air Force crashed at a local airbase at Arulia in Sadar upazila yesterday, leaving its two pilots injured.

An ISPR release, said the two pilots-squadron leader AAMM Shamsuzzman and squadron leader Jamal Uddin Ahmed-were well after the accident.

The two pilots were sent to the Combined Ministry Hospital here for routine health checkup. "They are now well," said the ISPR release.

Local Fire Service Station Master Shahadat Hossain said the accident took place as the aircraft, PT-6, developed technical trouble shortly after takeoff from the base at about 12 noon.

"Sensing danger, the pilot in the driving-seat hurriedly tried to land the aircraft on the runway, but the plane nosedived on the runway as its engine went out of order," said Shahadat Hossain.

Firefighters rushed in and rescued the two injured pilots. They were admitted to the local CMH.

The aircraft was severely damaged in the crash.

Police were deployed in the area following the accident.

Curious people of the area thronged around the spot to know about the incident.
