Early investigation into accident in Ahmedabad in June also contains details of pilots discussing the switches
Fuel to both engines of the Air India plane that crashed and killed 260 people last month appears to have been cut off seconds after the flight took off, a preliminary report has found.
Air India flight AI171, bound for London, crashed into a densely populated residential area in the Indian city of Ahmedabad on 12 June, killing all but one of the 242 people on board and 19 others on the ground. It was India’s deadliest air crash in almost three decades.
According to a preliminary report by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, moments after take-off both the switches in the cockpit that controlled fuel going to the engines had been moved to the “cut-off” position. Moving the fuel switches almost immediately cuts the engine.
Yes, the full 5 seconds could have been enough to increase their survival. Instead they spent some of that 5 seconds debating.
I would rather my pilot be an expert at keeping us alive, not being a master debater like you.
You should read the article with states that one engine was beginning to provide thrust and the other still had not regained thrust. It takes a very long time for an engine to start and longer to create thrust. Read more. Learn more. Don’t be angry at your ignorance.
You know, I’ve noticed a lot more nonsense agreasion since Grok 4 came out.
It’s the crew’s fault since they didn’t react well with the 5 seconds they had. lol, jesus fucking christ
