The ‘Air India Crash Accident’, which occurred in India on the 12th of last month, was found to have fallen with almost turning off the engine output as the fuel switch was converted into a ‘blocking’ state during the flight.
According to foreign reports such as CNN, the Indian Aviation Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) announced a preliminary accident report on the 12th (local time) that the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner Air India 171 was blocked immediately after takeoff.
According to the report, the accident airliner reached the top speed after taking a takeoff, and the two fuel switches were turned off at the same time. In about 10 seconds, the two switches were re -transformed into a ‘operation’ state, but one of the two engines did not have enough output. A pilot shouted ‘May Day‘ three times in the control tower and the passenger crashed immediately. It took only about 33 seconds from the time when the fuel switch was blocked to the May Day Declaration.
As a result of the analysis of the cockpit voice record, one pilot asked another pilot, “Why did you block the fuel?” It is not known who is the captain and the vice president. The captain of the accident airliner is a 56 -year -old veteran with more than 15,000 hours of flight, and the 32 -year -old deputy chief has more than 3400 hours of control.
Experts believe it is unlikely that the fuel supply switch has been accidentally operated. Jeffrey Dell Aviation Safety Expert told CNN that “it is not a mistake that can be made by mistake.” “The fuel supply switch has a built -in safety device to prevent accidental turning off the fuel supply switch,” said Sean Prukniki Ohio State University, a former aviation accident investigation investigator.
In a report released on the day, AAIB said that the accident airliners were suitable for takeoffs as a result of the accident airliner debris. In addition, on the day of the accident, no bird activity was observed around the flight path, dismissing the possibility of birds. AAIB will publish a final report within a year after further investigation.
Air India 171 took off from Sadar Balapi Patel International Airport in Amadabad, northwest of India on the 12th of last month, and crashed over a nearby National BJ Medical School dormitory while heading to Gatewick Airport, London, England. At least 260 people were killed in this accident and were recorded as the worst aviation disasters in India since 1996.
