Fuel to Air India jet engines was cut off moments before crash, prompting confusion between pilots

A preliminary report said on Saturday that the conversion of fuel turns into the flight engines that were briefly destroyed, killing 260 people, from “running” to the “cutting” position before its influence.

The report, which was issued by the AAIB aircraft investigation, did not submit any conclusions or blame for dividing the June 12 disaster, but indicated that one of the pilots asked the other about the reason for cutting fuel, and the second pilot responded that he did not.

Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner went to Ahmed Abad in western India to London when it was shattered, killing all of them except for one of 242 people on board in addition to 19 people on the ground.

In his 15 -page report, the Investigative Office said that once the plane achieved its upper registrar, “the fuel cutting keys for the 1st engine and 2 engine of running were transferred to putting the pieces one by one with a time gap of 01 seconds.”

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

The plane started quickly to lose the height.

The report said that the keys after that returned to the “running” situation and it seems that the engines are gathering power, but “one of the pilots who moved” My Day Die “.

Air traffic officers asked the pilots about the mistake, but they saw the plane crashed and invited emergency staff to the scene.

The investigation is continuing

The Minister of Civil Aviation, Ram, Mohan Naido Kinsenabu, told reporters that the investigators discussed “mature and transparent.”

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

Earlier this week, the specialized website reported the current current, pointing to multiple sources familiar with the investigation, that it “has narrowed its focus on the movement of engine fuel keys”, noting that the full analysis will take months – if not longer. ”

He added that “the concentration of investigators can change during that time.”

The Indian Agency report said that the US Federal Aviation Administration issued an information bulletin in 2018 on “the potential separation of the fuel control key.”

Although anxiety was not considered a “unsafe condition” that would require more serious directive, Air India has told the investigators that it had not carried out the proposed inspections because it was “consultant, not mandatory.”

The report said that Air India was compatible with all the directions of flying and the alert service bulletins on the plane.

The Bureau of Investigation said that “there were no recommended procedures for the Genx-1B B787-8 and/or Genx-1B operators,” indicating that there are no technical problems with the engines (GE) or Boeing.

The office said that the investigation is continuing, and that the evidence and additional information “were searched for by stakeholders.”

“He will continue to support the investigation and our customers,” Boeing said in a statement, adding, “Our thoughts remain” with those affected by the disaster.

Air India said it “is working closely with stakeholders, including the organizers.”

The United Nations Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) states that the countries that head the investigation must submit a preliminary report within 30 days of an accident.

The US and British air accident investigators participated in the investigation.

Sorich Mitri, who lost his daughter Kenal in the accident, told AFP that his family was still reconciling with the loss.

“How can there be an internal problem on the trip and no one knew? He said.

Imtia Ali, who killed his brother with his wife and two children, said that the first report took “nothing forward” for him.

He said, “And (that) is not close to the closure,” he said. “It seems as if we were in the same place, where we were a month ago when the accident happened.”

The plane was carrying 230 passengers – 169 Indians, 53 British, seven Portuguese and Canadians – and 12 crews.

Dozens of people were injured on Earth.

One of the passengers miraculously survived, a British citizen who was seen out of the wreckage of the accident, and since then he was discharged from the hospital.

Health officials in the Indian state of Gujarat initially said that at least 279 people were killed, but forensic scientists reduced the number after identifying multiple scattered residue and burning them severely.
