The aircraft's next call was at 30 NM inbound to Baramati and the crew were released by Pune approach. They were advised to descend in Visual Meteorological Conditions at the pilot's discretion (Baramati is a non controlled airport). The crew enquired about the winds and visibility and they were informed that the winds were calm and the visibility was around 3 km. Then the crew reported on final approach to runway 11 but as the runway was not in sight, the crew initiated a go around procedure. After this, the crew was asked about their position and they reported on final approach to runway 11. During this second attempt to land, the crew reported that 'runway is currently not in sight, will call when runway is in sight'. A few seconds later, the crew reported that the runway was in sight and was cleared to land at 0843LT. The crew did not acknowledge this clearance and the airplane crashed about a minute later short of runway 11, bursting into flames. The burned wreckage was found down an embankment of 8-10 metres high located short of runway 11 threshold. All five occupants were killed, among them Ajit Anantrao Pawa, 8th Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra Government.
