In the investigation after the Air India crash, India crashed on 12 June, with 260 deaths in Ahmedabad, the experts with a fairly certain certainty came across the cause: almost at the same time the controller for the fuel supply of the two engines had jumped on the “switched” position. In the cockpit there was confusion why that was.
According to the report, there was a sudden loss of thrust and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner lost height. It is still unclear why the switching positions have changed. On the recovered voice recorder of the aircraft, the cockpit heard how one of the pilots asked the other why he passed the fuel switch. “The other pilot replied that he didn’t.” It is not yet known whether the answer from the flight captain or the first officer came.
American expert: You can’t accidentally change switches
The American expert John Cox pointed out that a pilot could not accidentally change the switches. “You can’t push it there and then move it.” Surveillance cameras at the airport showed that the emergency aid system of the aircraft called the RAM-AR turbine was paid when the machine initially increased, the report also says. The system consists of a small propeller and generates hydraulic or electrical energy from the wind. In an emergency it is folded out of the hull or the wing.
Bird Strike is excluded
According to the report, nothing indicates a possible collision with flying birds. “No significant bird activities were observed near the process.” The machine had already lost the height before he had flown to the airport. Air India confirmed the entrance to the provisional report. In view of the ongoing investigation: “We cannot comment on specific details,” said it on platform X. However, it was fully collaborated by the research authorities.
Both pilots were considered experienced and had about 19,000 flying hours, including more than 9,000 in 787. Air India has been tighter since the crash. Earlier, the Indian Aviation Supervision warned the airline because of violations of the prescribed duty of pilots. The flight safety agency of the European Union (EASA) has also announced an investigation by the Air India Express Low -Cost airline.
