Air India crash: Report claims more details on the last conversation between the pilots

Details of the final exchange between the late Captain Sumit Spoharwall and the first officer Clav Conerver on India Airlines flight 171, according to a report issued by Corriere della Sera. The plane was lifted from the runway at 1:38:39 pm, but the engines were analyzed at 1:38:42 pm when the plane was traveling at an altitude of 3330 km per hour.
It is the Italian daily, citing sources familiar with the Voice of the Cheap Voice (CVR), that the registration picks up Captain Sparewall with fuel cut into the left engine, followed by the right, at 1:38:42 pm
Here is what happened on the fateful AI171 trip, according to the report:
1:38:42 pm: The captain cut fuel flow to the left engine and then the right engine.
1:38:44 pm: The first officer asked, “Why did the engines be closed?”
Later, the other microphone, which was appointed to the captain’s seat, registered mysterious “I did not.” FO was not convinced and asked several times, for another 6 seconds.
1:38:47 pm: Alternative power source (mice) is published.
1:38:52 pm: FO returns the fuel key from “Cutoff” to “Run” on the left engine that begins Relight.
1:38:56 pm: Kunder return the 2 engine to “run”.
1:39:50 pm: Mayday is called.
After about two seconds, the report says, the first officer can be heard, asking, “Why did the engines be closed?” According to what was reported, the captain responded by denying the procedure. According to Corriere, Kunder seemed increasingly anxious and repeated the question several times over the next six seconds.
Corriere Della Sera attributes the details to direct knowledge sources with the records of the black box. These allegations cannot be independently verified by business today.
At 1:39:11 pm, the black boxes stopped recording, and then, Boeing 787 Dreamliner collided with the Medicine College of Medicine near Ahmedabad Airport. The plane’s crash claimed that the lives of 260 people, including 19 who were in the Youth Medical House building had decreased to ruins due to the accident.
Meanwhile, the American National Transportation Council (NTSB) said that the investigation of the plane crash is still in its early stages. NTSB president Jennifer Humandi described the foreign media coverage of the accident as “premature and speculative.”
Aircraft Investigation Bureau – an independent body within the framework of the Ministry of Civil Aviation in India – urged the public and the media to avoid rush to conclusions about the investigation of the plane crash.
Quoting the initial report of AAIB, CEO of Air India Campell Wilson said there are no maintenance or mechanical problems that led to Air India’s failure. Wilson said: “The initial report did not specify any reason and did not make any recommendations, so I urge everyone to avoid extracting early conclusions because the investigation has not yet ended.”
Moreover, the FIP Federation also began a legal action against the Wall Street Journal and Reuters due to their reports, indicating a pilot error or confusion inside the cockpit as a cause of air crashes.
FIP demanded an official apology from WSJ and Reuters for “selective and unjust reports.” Al -Ittihad said that such reports were “irresponsible”, especially when the investigation is still ongoing. Ahmedabad’s plane crash is currently being investigated by AAIB with the support of NTSB.
