Ahmedabad plane crash
Mumbai: Airline Pilots Association of India (ALPA) has demanded a fair and fact-based investigation of the Air India aircraft accident on 12 June in Ahmedabad. The association claimed that the Air India aircraft’s style of investigation and Disha indicates an inclination towards the mistake of the pilot. The Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has released its initial report of the Boeing 787-8 aircraft accident on June 12, killing 260 people.
What was found in the AAIB report?
The AAIB report found that the fuel supply of Air India’s flight number AI 171 closed at an interval of one second, causing confusion in the cockpit and fell to the ground almost immediately after flying the aircraft. The fifteen -pages reports stated that in the recording of the cockpit, one pilot is heard asking the other why he stopped the fuel, although the other pilot refused to shut down the fuel.
Demand for fair and fact -based inquiry
The ALPA said in a statement, “The style of investigation and Disha indicate inclination towards the mistake of the pilot. ALPA India clearly dismisses the notion and emphasizes fair, fact-based investigation. ”The association has also demanded that its representatives be made supervisors in the investigation process to ensure transparency and accountability. ALPA India is a ‘Member Associate’ of the International Federation of Airline Pilots Association (IFALPA).

How did the switch come to the ‘cutoff’ position?
The AIIB report has not clarified how the switches ‘cutoff’ conditions during the flight nor have been clearly blamed on anyone for the accident. The report did not even identify pilots in the recording of voice. But it also states that there was no flaw in the aircraft, which now only the pilot’s fault is the only possible reason. The aircraft was controlled by the First Officer Clive Kunder (32), while Sumit Sabharwal, a 30 -year experience in Air India, was a senior cockpit officer monitoring the flight. (input language)
