An X-Air F microlight aircraft VT-UAG engaged in recreational flying from the Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Airstrip, Meerut was involved in an accident while performing a low low-pass. The aircraft was under the command of Microlight license pilot and there was a passenger on board the aircraft at the time of accident. The owner of the aircraft was taking photographs at the time of accident from the left edge of runway 11. The aircraft was making an approach on runway 11 and was carrying out a low-pass when it veered to the left of runway at about 5 feet height above the ground. The right undercarriage impacted the owner causing fatal injury to him. The right wheel separated from the aircraft during the impact. The aircraft then made a go around and landed finally on runway 29. After the aircraft made contact with runway 29 it veered to the right of runway due missing right undercarriage and came to halt. There was no injury to any of the occupant on board the aircraft. The weather was fine and accident occurred in the day light conditions.
