The South Korean Air Force reported on April 21 that the crash of the KA-1 light attack aircraft gun gondola and auxiliary fuel tank that occurred in Gangwon Province on the 18th of this month was due to a pilot error in operation. The South Korean Air Force said in a report that simulated shooting training at night was underway at the time of the accident. The pilot was also wearing night vision goggles. The pilot sitting in the back seat felt that the hot air conditioning caused poor visibility in the goggles and tried to adjust the air volume, but mistakenly pressed the emergency delivery button located above the air supply port, causing the attack aircraft's 2 sets of external fuel tanks and 2 sets of machine gun pods to fall to the ground. The South Korean Air Force has already recovered most of the live ammunition, machine gun pods, etc., and is currently searching for fuel tanks and the remaining live ammunition. At about 20:22 local time on the 18th, when a KA-1 light attack aircraft of the South Korean Air Force was conducting night simulated shooting exercises over Pyeongchang in Gangwon Province, two sets of machine gun pods and two empty auxiliary fuel tanks fell off accidentally. Fortunately, the crash site was in a mountainous area, causing no casualties.
