Air to Air India jet engines were cut for a few moments before the accident, which caused confusion between the pilots

The report, published by the office of the India’s plane accident survey (AAIB), did not obtain conclusions or responsibility for the disaster on June 12, but indicated that a pilot asked the other why he had cut fuel, and the second pilot replied that he had not done so.

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner was heading for Ahmedabad in western India in London when he crashed, killing every 242 people except one on board as well as 19 people on the ground.

In its 15 -page report, the investigation office said that the plane had reached its highest recorded speed, “the fuel switch switch of engine 1 and engine 2 went from execution to the cut -off position one after the other with a time difference of 01 sec”.

“In the recording of the voice of the cockpit, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why he cut himself. The other pilot replied that he did not do it,” he said.

The plane quickly started losing altitude.

The switches then returned to the “run” position and the engines seemed to collect power, but “one of the pilots transmitted” Mayday Mayday Mayday “, according to the report.

The air traffic controllers asked the pilots who did not go, but then saw the plane crash and called the emergency staff on the scene.

Current survey

The Minister of Civil Aviation, Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu, told journalists that the investigators had surveyed “mature and transparent”.

“This is a preliminary report. We want the final report to arrive, so let’s expect it,” he said.

Earlier this week, the specialized website The Air Current, citing several sources familiar with the probe, reported that it had “reduced its objective on the movement of engine switches”, while noting that the complete analysis will “take months – or even more”.

He added that “the investigators’ objective could change during this period”.

The Indian Agency’s report said that the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States had published an information bulletin in 2018 on “the potential disengagement of the locking function of the fuel control switch”.

Although the concern is not considered a “dangerous condition” which would justify a more serious directive, Air India told investigators that she had not carried out suggested inspections because they were “advisory and not compulsory”.

Air India was in accordance with all navigability guidelines and alert service ballots on the plane, according to the report.

The investigation office said that there was “no action recommended to operators and manufacturers of B787-8 engines and / or GE GENX-1B”, not suggesting any technical problem with the engines (GE) or the plane (Boeing).

The office said that the investigation was underway and that additional evidence and information had been “wanted to stakeholders”.

Boeing said in a statement that he “continues to support the investigation and our client”, adding that “our thoughts remain” with the people affected by the disaster.

Air India said that she “worked closely with stakeholders, including regulators”.

“We continue to cooperate fully with the AAIB and other authorities as their investigation progresses,” he said in a press release on X.

The UN Civil Aviation International Aviation (OCAO) stipulates that the United States staging an investigation must submit a preliminary report within 30 days of an accident.

Investigators from American and British air accidents participated in the investigation.

Suresh Mistry, who lost his daughter Kinal in the accident, told AFP that his family was reconciled with the loss.

“How is it possible that there is an internal problem with theft and no one knew it? Even the cars today indicate when there is a problem. How does it not happen during flights?” He said.

Imotiyaz Ali, whose brother was killed with his wife and two children, said that the preliminary report had taken “nothing from before” for him.

“And (it’s) is not even close to a closure,” he said. “It looks like we are in the same place, where we were a month ago when the accident occurred.”

The plane carried 230 passengers – 169 Indians, 53 British, seven Portuguese and a Canadian – and 12 crew members.

Dozens of people on the ground have been injured.

A passenger has miraculously survived, a British citizen who has been seen emerging from the wreck in the accident and who has since been released from the hospital.

The Health of the Indian State of Gujarat initially declared that at least 279 people had been killed, but the forensic doctors reduced the figure after several dispersed and seriously burned remains were identified.
