The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, recording the sound of a cockpit from Air India last month shows that the captain stopped the engines immediately after the take -off.
Referring to sources familiar with the preliminary results of the June 12 accident in Ahmedabad, 260 people were killed, the article states that the captain’s actions are under investigation.
According to the report, the first officer, who was piloting the Boeing 787 Dream Liner, asked his decision to change the fuel control over the “cut -off” position after the elevator off.
The two pilots included were Sabharwal and the first officer, Clive County, who had the experience of flying 15,638 hours and 3,403 hours, respectively.
The Directorate General of India’s AAB, Civil Aviation, the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Air India and two unions representing Indian pilots did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests to comment on the Wall Street Journal report. Boeing refuses to comment.
A preliminary report of the crash released by the Bureau (AAIB) by the Indian plane crash on Saturday states that the fuel switches have changed from the run to the cut off only after the take -off, but it was not told how they returned.
Immediately to remove the airplane from the ground. Later, closed circuit TV footage shows that Ram Air Turbine is a backup source of energy that has identified the loss of electricity from the engines.
After that, a pilot was heard on the cockpit voice recorder that the other asked why he cut the fuel. The report states that “the other pilot replied that he did not do so.”
Without the flow of the engines, the London -connected aircraft began to lose loudly. After reaching a height of 650 feet, the plane began to sink.
The report said that the fuel switch was returned for both engines to run, and the aircraft automatically tried to resume engines.
Aviation safety expert John Nance told Reuters, but the aircraft was very low and too slow that was unable to recover.
The report states that the plane carved some trees and a fireplace before hitting a fireball in a building at a nearby medical college campus, the report states that 19 people were killed in 787 and 241 out of 242.
No safety recommendations
In an internal memo on Monday, Air India CEO Campbell Wilson said no mechanical or rehabilitation errors were found in the preliminary report and that all the required care was taken.
AAIB’s preliminary report did not contain safety recommendations for a Boeing or engine manufacturer.
Following the release of the report, the US Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing privately released reports that fuel switch locks on the Boeing aircraft are safe, in a document shown by Reuters, and four sources in the matter said.
Nance said that a staff member turned the engine’s fuel switches, because of which there was no “rational explanation” which was in accordance with the information released to date.
However, investigators have to “still have to dig all the factors” and reject other potential support factors that will take time, he said.
Most air accidents are caused by numerous factors, and under international rules, a final report is expected within a year of an accident.
The Air India crash has discussed the inclusion of flight deck cameras on planes, known as cockpit image recorders.
Nance said investigators would be of great benefit from video footage of cockpit during Air India flight.
Air India has been facing additional scrutiny on other fronts after the accident.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency said it plans to investigate its budget airline, Air India Express this month, when Reuters reported that the carrier did not comply with the timely transition of the engine parts of the Airbus A320 in a timely manner and dismissed the wrong records.
