Air India crash report: Pilots’ grouping ALPA seeks fair, fact-based probe into AI plane crash

On Saturday, July 12, the Indian Airline Pilots Association requested a fair and reality investigation on the Air India Aircraft Accident, claiming that the tone and direction of the investigation into the Air India aircraft accident showed a prejudice for pilot error.

On June 12, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) issued a preliminary report on the deadly Boeing 787-8 aircraft accident that killed 260 people.

In the report, Air India Flight AI171 found both engines of the fuel source in one second and caused confusion in the cockpit and immediately fell to the ground after the plane.

The 15 -page report says that in the cockpit sound recording, an unidentified pilot asks the other why the other cuts the fuel rejected by the other.

“The tone and direction of the investigation shows a prejudice for the pilot error … Alpa India categorically rejects this assumption categorically and insists on a fair, reality investigation.” He said.
