AI Plain Crash: How much was the aircraft weight at the time of take off? How much was the fuel? Was everything right?

New Delhi: The painful aerial accident in Ahmedabad on 12 June 2025 shook everyone. People still have not forgotten this accident. Let us know that Air India flight AI171 crashed just 30 seconds after the take-off. Now the report of this accident has come out in which many things are being known. This initial report states that the Boeing 787-8 aircraft that was victim of the accident was how much weighing, how much should have been and how much fuel was filled in it. Let us know that 241 out of 242 people aboard the plane were killed in the accident, while 19 people were killed on the ground. In the accident, only one person riding on the plane survived.

The weight of the plane was within the completely fixed limit

According to the initial report by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), 54,200 kg of fuel was filled at the aircraft at the time of take-off. According to the load and trim sheet, the aircraft had a take-off weight of 2,13,401 kg, which was less than 2,18,18,183 kg. That is, the weight was completely within the limited limit. In addition, there was no dangerous goods in the aircraft. In such a situation, the question is arising that when the amount of weight and fuel was in the prescribed limit, and there was no dangerous item, then what happened in 30 seconds that the aircraft crashed?

Pilot could not understand how the fuel stopped

According to the report, the aircraft took off on June 12 at 1:38:39 pm (08:08:39 UTC). At that time the co-pilot was flying the aircraft, while the captains were monitoring it. A few seconds after the take-off, the aircraft achieved the maximum air speed of 180 knots. But soon after this, the fuel cutoff switches of both engines (engines 1 and engine 2) on 08:08:42 UTC went into the cutoff position by a margin of one second. This stopped the supply of fuel to the engines, and the speed of both engines (N1 and N2) began to decrease rapidly. Cockpit voice recording has shown that the plane fuel was suddenly closed, and both the pilots could not understand why this happened.
