Agni Air Flight 101

The investigation into the accident found that pilot fell victim to spatial disorientation following the loss of flight instruments after both generators failed.[1][2] Twenty minutes after take-off, the crew of the aircraft contacted air traffic control reporting technical problems and requesting a return to Kathmandu.Aviation officials said although the flight crew reported technical problems, they did not declare an emergency or request priority clearance to land.[3] Personnel from the Nepalese Army reached the site of the crash on foot, and were responsible for gathering bodies, but due to weather conditions, helicopters were forced to land more than a mile away.[4] Despite initial reports that technical issues had resulted in the accident,[2][4] the cause was found to be spatial disorientation of the pilot following the loss of the attitude indicator.
