Airlines check Boeing models after Air India crash
India’s aviation regulator, after an investigation into an Air India Aircraft accident, two days after finding that they had left both fuel engines hungry, ordered a few Boeing models to examine the fuel control switches.
The General Directorate of Civil Aviation, Indian, said the directive would be valid for Boeing 787 Dreamliners and that the Boeing 737 variants would choose and that the airlines should complete the audits by July 21st and send their findings to the regulator.
Air India Crash found a preliminary report that killed 260 people in Ahmedabad, North -West in June, in June, that the switches have changed within one second and reduce fuel supply to both engines.
The report, which was released last week, did not yield any results as to why the aircraft fell.
In addition, he did not say how to cut the switches from the working position during the flight.
The movement of fuel control switches provides and cuts fuel flow to the motors of the aircraft.
Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner collapsed on June 12 shortly after taking off.
He killed everything except one of 242 people and 19 people on board.
The report, published by the Indian Aircraft Investigation Bureau, recorded the 2018 Consultancy from the US Federal Aviation Administration and suggested the airlines operating Boeing models to examine the locking feature of fuel cutting switches.
According to the report, the cockpit sound recordings caught a moment of confusion between the pilots, and one asked the other why he had cut fuel.
“The other pilot said he didn’t do it.” He said.
Some aviation experts in India predicted that the accident was due to a human error based on the preliminary report.
At least two commercial pilots rejected these claims.
Indian Commercial Pilots Association said in a statement on Sunday, “deeply uncomfortable with speculative narratives … Especially pilot suicide, reckless and unfounded concession,” he said.
Air India CEO Campbell Wilson said on Monday that the preliminary report on the collision of the London aircraft could not find any mechanical or maintenance problems with its aircraft and engines.
In an internal note to the airline personnel seen by Associated Press, Wilson said that all compulsory maintenance tasks of the aircraft have been completed.
“There was no abnormality about fuel quality and take -off rolls. The pilots had passed the breath of breath before the mandatory flight, and there was no observation of their medical conditions.” He said.
After the accident, Indian officials ordered the deeper controls of Air India’s entire Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet to prevent future events.
