A two-seater trainer aircraft operated by a private flight training academy made an emergency landing on agricultural land at a village in Chittapur taluk of Kalaburagi district in Karnataka on Sunday, police said. There are no casualties in the incident, nor is there any major damage to the aircraft, they said.

The trainer aircraft, which was owned by ‘Redbird Flight Training Academy’, made the emergency landing on an agricultural field near Pete Sirur village in Chittapur taluk of the district.
