A Mushshak training aircraft belonging to Army Aviation landed on Saturday in a rice field near Wazirabad in the Gujranwala district of Punjab, security and rescue sources said.
Both pilots remained safe in the incident.
According to sources, the two-seater plane had taken off from Rahwali Cantt for a training mission, with Captain Ahmad and an instructor on board.
The plane developed a technical failure when flying over Dilawar Cheema near the Chenab River, forcing the pilots to make a forced landing on a rice field.
Security officials and Rescue 1122 staff arrived at the site shortly after the incident.
The basic coach Mushshak is a light single-engine aircraft. It can operate from any unprepared short strip and is ideal for basic flight training, instrument flight, aerobatics, deliberate stops and turns, night flight, navigation flight and training flight.
The aircraft, which has a 9,500-hour structure lifespan, was developed with flexibility in mind: it covers both army cooperation and primary flight training.
