The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP), CS Randhawa, rejected the American media report on the cockpit investigation of Air India’s investigation, quoted unnamed American officials dealing with early assessment of the US air accident that stated that the pilot’s preliminary report.
Captain Randhawa rejected the claims as unfounded and promised to take steps against the publication, and said that the preliminary report on the Air India accident in Air India does not mention that the pilots fill the switches that control fuel flow into the engines.
“… Nowhere in the report was not mentioned that the fuel switch was turned off due to a pilot error. I condemn the article. They said it was a pilot’s mistake. They (publications) did not read this message correctly, and we will act against them via FIP,” Cs Randhawa said.
“Neither the Minister of Civil Aviation said it was a pilot’s fault … You have to connect it with the incident Ana NH985, which occurred on January 17, 2019. At the time of landing, when the pilot selected reverseers, both engines are turned off.
“….
Meanwhile, Aviation expert Sanjay Lazar also expressed concern about the escape of details about the investigation in the United States and stressed that the Indian official preliminary report contains only a short pilot denial and lacks a complete transcription of the voice record.
