Redbird Beechcraft C90 air‑ambulance (VT‑AJV) crashes in Jharkhand; seven killed, aircraft exempt from black‑box mandate
A Redbird Airways Beechcraft C90 air‑ambulance (registration VT‑AJV) crashed near Simaria, Jharkhand, late Monday, killing all seven aboard. AAIB and DGCA teams have recovered wreckage evidence; the C90 carried no FDR/CVR because its MTOW is below India’s 5,700 kg recorder mandate.
