Message on Air India’s Aircraft Accident: In his preliminary report on Air India’s accident in Air India, Ahmedabad in Ahmedabad, he reveals the Office for Investigation of Air accidents (AAIB) that the voice recordings of the cockpit captured the last major exchange between two pilots during the sequence of engine failure.
The 15 -page message shows that one of the Air India 171 flight pilots asked its co -founder: “Why did you cut off fuel?
The replacement took place moments after both engine fuel switches moved from “run” to “Cutoff” at 13:38:42 ist after Dreamliner Boeing 787-8 reached a maximum speed of 180 knots marked at speeds.
The AAIB report examines the sequence of events and engine behavior leading to the incident including the Boeing 787-8 and offers the first official insight into what happened before one of the worst accidents in Indian aviation history.
Up to 260 people were killed in the accident, including 241 passengers and crew and 19 on the ground. One passenger aboard the plane survived miraculously.
According to the report, both engines closed medium air within seconds after take -off. Fuel switches moved from running to limitation one by one in one second.
“When fuel control switches move from marginal value to running, while the aircraft is in flight, automatically manages the full authority of the two -engine module (FADEC) automatically manage the ignition sequence and the introduction of fuel,” he reads.
Soon after, one of the pilots handed over the Mayday warning. The air traffic control asked the call sign, but did not receive the answer. A few minutes later, the plane crashed outside the airport border into the building.
Two aircraft pilots were Sumaet Sabharwal, a captain with a line with 8,200 hours of flying experience, with the assistance of the first officer of Clive Kundar, who recorded 1,100 years.
Why did you cut off fuel?
The report stated that both pilots were medically fit and relaxed, with a reasonable experience. She also stated that there was no immediate evidence of sabotage, but pointed out the well -known Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to a possible fuel switch defect.
“There is no significant bird activity near the flight path. The aircraft began to lose altitude before crossing the peripheral wall of the airport,” the report said.
