‘Too early to draw conclusions on Air India mishap,’ says Civil Aviation Ministry

Aircraft Investigation Bureau, an independent body within the framework of the Ministry of Civil Aviation, urged the public and the media to avoid rush to conclusions about the recent crash of India, describing it “very early to reach any final conclusions.” The appeal following the widespread general audit comes in the wake of the initial results issued by AAIB.

On July 12, AAIB published a preliminary report that caught attention to a sound record in the cockpit that includes two pilots from the Boeing 787-8 plane (VT-ANB). The stock market is said to be “transfer” of fuel control keys, which are necessary to provide fuel for engines. “In the sound of the cockpit, one of the pilots heard the other asked why it was cut. The other pilot replied that he did not do it,” and the report mentioned. The identities of the pilots or further details of the exchange have not been detected.

On Thursday, AAIB indicated that although the accident drew the national and global attention, the purpose of the initial report is to determine what happened, and not why it happened. AAIB continues to achieve it according to aircraft standards (investigation and accidents), 2017, and ICAO Appendix 13. Officials emphasized that the final report, which has not yet been completed, will determine the root causes and provide safety recommendations.

AAIB was described as a VT-ANB accident as one of the most destroyed in the history of the last aviation, and his strong record has highlighted, after he achieved 92 accidents and 111 serious accidents since its establishment in 2012. It confirmed that many other cases are also reviewed.

the Wall Street Journal It was reported on Wednesday that the audio recorder to take the cockpit on the fateful journey seized a tense exchange between the two pilots, as the first officer, Claef Consider, Captain Sumit Sabarwall, interrogated the fuel cut into the engines only moments after take off. According to the report, Kunder is heard asking why fuel control keys are transferred to “cut”, but Sabharwal denied this.

The report, citing American officials who were not discovered with early evaluation, does not provide direct evidence that the keys were intentional. However, pilots in the United States said Wsj Kunder, who was flying the plane at the time, is likely to be unable to reach fuel keys during the critical stage of takeoff.

In response to selective coverage by the international media, AAIB was described as such “irresponsible” reports and warned that it might undermine the safety of the ongoing investigation. She said: “It is necessary to respect the sensitivity of the loss that family members face from the deceased passengers, the crew and others on the ground.”

AAIB urged the public and the media to wait for the final investigation report and confirmed that the updates will be published as needed. At the same time, he appealed to restraint, to remind all stakeholders that creating public anxiety on the basis of speculation does not do much to serve the safety of aviation or those affected by the tragedy.
