<h1>Trainer aircraft crash-lands near Belagavi after suspected fuel starvation; regulatory investigation and FTO oversight underway.</h1> Suspected fuel starvation forced a Cessna 172 trainer to make a precautionary landing; both occupants survived and the aircraft broke into pieces. The aircraft held a certificate of airworthiness and an Airworthiness Review Certificate valid through August 3, 2026, and was operated by a flying training organisation with active FTO approval. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation and the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau will carry out further investigation. The operator reported cooperation with regulators and reinforced pre flight inspection procedures, against a background of prior accidents and temporary suspension actions involving the same academy.
