‘What matters is…’: Sanjiv Kapoor on report that Air India crash probe now focuses on pilot

SANJIV KAPOOR, former CEO of travel and Aviation, former CEO of Jet Airways Sanjiv Kapoor, said speculation about the role of pilots in the crash of Air India 171 from Ahmed Abad to Gatwick is just speculation. He said that without any strong evidence, many theories could be presented. This comes after the Wall Street Journal report said that the Indian probe has now transferred its focus to the great pilot.
“None of these speculation is matters. What matters to CVR and FDR. Without knowing it completely, a thousand different theories can be made reasonable. All he does is to feed fear, anger, confusion and doubt.
In an interview with Mojo Story, Schiavo, who remembers previous incidents or landing issues, said there is a lot of precedents on suspicion of control systems. She said: “Therefore, there is a lot of precedents that you doubt the computer control systems in Dreamliner or any modern plane from wireless because it is a flight computer. There are millions of software instructions lines and until it is examined, it is impossible to blame the pilots.”
Schiavo added that the Barebones dialogue between the two pilots – where one of them asked the other about the reason for cutting the fuel, and the other answered that he did not – is not enough to make sure that the pilot deliberately cut the fuel.
“We have the information that we have just small small excerpts. There are experts from their job, literally to listen to small deviations in the pilot’s voice, to listen to each click in the cockpit, to listen to everything that happens. Of course, in a state of subsequent laughter, this actual recording allows operation on that, but he only claims it. I know, why I cut and one other says:” I was not, “this is almost not enough to say that the pilots say that the pilots say They did it. “She said.
She also said that she worked in many cases where everything happened, or that she was a mystery or disaster and the pilots are not alive or allowed to defend themselves. Shuafu said the pilots were blamed at about 75 percent of cases.
She said: “The team that I work with has been able to refute that. I mean, there are many cases where the pilots are blamed, including – just remember that they do not blame them for committing suicide, they blame them for killing. I mean that this is an ugly accusation and there is no evidence for this at this stage.”
The WSJ report stated that he was the first officer who asked the captain why he cut fuel. According to the report, the registration of the black box for dialogue between the two pilots indicates that the most experienced captain remained calm while the first officer expressed his amazement and then panic.
