On the 15th of January 2023, an ATR 72 from Yeti Airlines crashed after the instructor onboard feathered both propellers during visual approach to Pokhara International Airport. Neither of the pilots discovered the mistake. But this might not be the only reason why the aircraft stalled and dropped out of the sky. The accident report indicates a mechanical problem with the aircraft, but this is not addressed. Neither does the report share relevant information from the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recvorder.
