Why is the fuel switch off before the Ahmedabad Air India aircraft accident?

New Delhi: Preliminary reports have come in Ahmedabad regarding Air India aircraft accident, but till now the question is not being answered as to how the fuel switches are off? Aviation expert Captain (Retired) Ehsan Khalid said on Wednesday that before the Boeing 787-8 aircraft crashed last month, the fuel switch may have gone into a ‘cut-off’ position due to electrical disturbances and both the flying pilots could not even know it.

Fuel switch was off immediately after flying

On Saturday, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) said in its preliminary report in the Boeing 787-8 accident case of Air India that the fuel switches of the aircraft’s engine had shut down in a interval of 1 second immediately after flying and caused confusion in the cockpit, after which the aircraft crashed. 260 people were killed in this accident on June 12. Although no conclusions have been given in the initial report, in some circles it is estimated that the pilot’s mistake may have been the cause of the accident.

Demand to make public recording of cockpit public

Former Air Force officer Khalid also said in an interview that the recording of the entire conversation of the Cockpit by AAIB could be made public and if it was issued, “these speculation or allegations would not be made or allegations, because the pilot community realizes that flying security is their responsibility.” He also said that the AAIB reported that the AAIB’s report has not given births. Citing the recording of the conversation held in the cockpit, a 15 -page preliminary report asks that one pilot asked why the switch was closed, and the other pilot replied that he did not do so. The AI 171 flight was going from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick.

According to Khalid, the fuel switches of the aircraft may have been closed as a result of electrical disturbances immediately after flying. He said, “Although it is also true that the switch will be in a position and the position can be 1 and the second position is 0 (then) 0 to 1 to 1 to 0 (status) due to electrical disturbances or signal malfunction, while the switch must have been at the same point.” He said, “I think,” I think AAIB thinks that AAIB has not used a lot of care in his decision and no use of fuel switch. ” Did. They could use it. It is not that they do not know about it. ”Various pilot associations have expressed concern over the AAIB report and urged all sides to avoid speculation. (input language)
