There were no commercial passengers in the aircraft,” HAL spokesman Gopal Sutar told TOI. “The trainee pilot stopped at the turning pad and there was no overshooting of the runway. If I start from a runway, or if I break at any time once on the ground, the aircraft gets stuck and won’t move but a couple of inches, as if something is holding the aircraft in place, glued to the ground. The specially retrofitted aircraft equipped with a top-end missile defence system remained stuck till Friday evening, possibly due to the absence of towing equipment and vehicles to muscle out large commercial jets, which were brought in from KIA. After installing Version 17.3.0, the aircraft will move only when I leave from a gate. The incident occurred around 11am on the HAL runway.
