  7. Editorial: #AirIndia #B788 at #Ahmedabad on Jun 12th 2025, lost height shortly after takeoff, no thrust reported

    Written by editor of Aviation Herald, a source of commercial #aviation #accidents & incidents. However this is his analysis which is well thought out, logical and referenced for those interested in aviation and #Airlines

    “Let me summarize my own opinion on this preliminary report and provide my reasons”

  9. CW: AI171

    Well. The initial report looks damning. Methinks airplane computers should make it impossible to do such things at certain times.

    It already prevents, e.g., putting the gear up while on the ground. Turning off the engines during takeoff would be another good thing to implement - or put one switch on each side of the cockpit requiring BOTH pilots to agree.

  10. India orders its airlines to check fuel switches on Boeing jets
    "The moves by #India & #SouthKorea came despite #Boeing & #US #FAA telling #airlines & #regulators in recent days tt te #fuelswitch locks on Boeing jets are safe.. a 2018 advisory fr FAA , which recommended – but didn't mandate – operators of several Boeing models incl'g te #B787 to inspect the locking feature of fuel cut-off switches to ensure they couldn't be moved accidentally"🤔 #aircrash #AirIndia

  11. The preliminary report on the #AirIndia flight #AI171 conveys an important message:
    - This accident is specific to this flight
    - The plane functioned as intended. When the fuel switches were set to cutoff and when they were set in the run position again.
    - The industry and passengers need not to worry about the #Boeing787.

  13. The 30 day preliminary report of the #AirIndia flight #AI171 is out.

    Just after liftoff both fuel cutoff switches were set in the off position within 1 second of each other.

    In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so.

    Yet 10 seconds after cutoff the switches were set in the run position again. How do you do that if they are not in the cutoff position?

    The AAIB report:
    aaib.gov.in/What's%20New%20Ass

  14. #AirIndiaCrash: In the cockpit voice recording, one pilot asks the other why he cut off the engines' fuel supply, which the other denies. The switches were moved back to their normal position, restarting both engines, one of which was regaining thrust when the aircraft crashed.

    Notably, the switches are virtually impossible to activate by mistake, because they require a very specific sequence of movements.

  15. For all the other passengers and crews of #Dreamliner‎s around the globe, I hope that #AirIndia flight 171 indeed didn't crash due to general issues with the aircraft type. 🧐 #Boeing

    “The data available does not indicate a mechanical or design issue with the #Boeing787 or its 2 engines, #TheAirCurrent is told. The [sources] also indicated that the analysis showed no sign of fuel contamination or improper retraction of the aircraft’s flaps.”

    “The investigation into the crash of #AI171 has narrowed its focus to the movement of the engine fuel control switches.”
