the first female pilot to have died on a mission when a PAF trainer jet crashed near Kundian, Mianwali, Tuesday afternoon.

A PAF FT-7PG flown by Squadron Leader Saqib Abbasi and co-pilot Flying Officer Marium Mukhtar was on a routine operational training mission when it encountered an in-flight emergency during the final stages of the mission, said a PAF statement.

"Both pilots handled the emergency with professionalism and courage and tried to save the aircraft till the last minute, ensuring safety of property and the civilian population on the ground," read the statement.

They ejected from the aircraft and sustained injuries. They were being treated at a nearby military hospital, where Flying Officer Mariam Mukhtar succumbed to her injuries.

RIP.

I think we had hailed her for her achievements few days ago. PAF should not hurry in inducting the lady pilots without proper preparation.
 
Ejected and yet still killed. Shall be a dangerous low level training. Might not be do with malfunction of aircraft.

Its not the training.
Many factor can be counted since they tried to get the jet out of civilians way.
Could be a late ejection at a bad time.

And not forgetting many of these "certain" accidents are related to these old planes.
 
Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajheuun ........ may Allah almighty grant her high rang in the Paradise
