Air India Crash Reporting Is ‘Premature,’ NTSB’s Homendy Says

(Bloomberg) – US National Transportation Security Council, the chairman of the aircraft, said that the captain of the aircraft probably carries the switches that control the fuel flow to the engines that caused the deadly collapse of Air India Jetliner, he said.

NTSB President Jennifer Homendy said in an article to the social media platform X on Friday. He described his latest media reports as “early and speculative without providing any feature as to referring to.

With the help of NTSB, researchers led by India’s Aircraft Investigation Bureau, the Air India Flight 171, on June 12, combine evidence to determine what caused 260 people to kill. AAIB and Air India Chairman Campbell Wilson also called on the public not to draw conclusions while the investigation continued.

It may take a year – sometimes longer for the authorities to publish a final report that reveals the possible cause of a accident and suggestions to avoid future tragedies.

A preliminary report published by AAIB, Boeing Co. The 787 Dreamliner moved to the “cutting” position immediately after the two fuel control switches in Dreamliner hungry immediately after the aircraft lifted. The movement was reversed after about 10 seconds, while it was too late to prevent the accident.

Since a cockpit sound recording from the plane was defined by a pilot – Bloomberg and other outputs as the first officer Clive Kunder – the other asked the Captain Sumeet Sabharwal why he moved the keys.

How and why the switches are closed are the main inquiry lines for researchers. Authorities investigate whether this is the result of the human action – intentionally or accidentally – or the failure of the aircraft systems.

Following the release of AAIB’s preliminary report, India’s Civil Aviation Authority ordered the examination of fuel keys on the Boeing 737 and 787 aircraft operating in the country to determine whether the boiler is caused by equipment failure.

At this point, the inspectors did not detect any mechanical or design problems related to the Boeing plane or engines produced by Ge Aerospace.
