The Air Index report deepens “Unemployment for the owner Tata

A report on the crash of Air India left last month, which sparked an angry discussion about the aircraft pilots in the Tata Tata collection, which faces increasing questions about the error that occurred.

The initial report It was issued by the Air Investigation Office in India On the weekend, the cockpit keys that control the flow of fuel to the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner engines have been converted into “cutting” mode shortly after the takeoff.

The report said: “In recording the sound of the cockpit, one of the pilots hears asking the other why he cut off. The other pilot replied that he did not do it.”

The results prompted international speculation that the accident was the result of a pilot error or a deliberate decision to shoot down the plane – as well as loud defenses from the flight crew by Indian pilot unions.

Aviation experts said that the lack of details in the initial report is to deepen the devastating uncertainty that the accident created Indian water And its owner, Tata Group, who renewed its reputation on the renewal of the previous transportation company, which is run by the country.

Unlike initial reports on incidents that include Boeing aircraft in other countries, the Indian account has not specified pilots who speak or quote them directly with each other.

“The report is very mysterious and very inaccurate,” said Bjorn Vehram, a flying space engineer and space engineer in Lehham News. “This is not good for the airline.”

In a memorandum of employees on Monday, the CEO of Air India Campbell Wilson said that the report “presented greater clarity and opening additional questions” that “sparked a new round of speculation in the media.”

“I urge everyone to avoid extracting the premature conclusions because the investigation has not ended yet.”

Indian experimental unions criticized the lack of transparency in the investigation process and the results of the initial report results before their issuance.

“The investigation tone and its direction indicate a bias towards the experimental error,” said the Airlines Airlines Association in India. The Indian Commercial Pilots Association said it was “very annoyed” about “reckless and communicating suicide” by some media and audience members.

Indian commentators also rushed to defend the flight crew, who were among the 260 people who were killed in what was the most flying disaster in India for nearly three decades.

“A very well designed campaign to install it on the pilots,” said Chef Arour, a news presenter in the broadcaster NDTV, in a social media post on Saturday. “I played very well. The largest mountains have been moved much to save the current situation.”

In his memoirs to Air India employees, Wilson indicated that the preliminary report said that both Captain Sumit Spoharwall, who had more than 11,500 hours of flying experience, and that the first officer, Clav Conerver, with more than 3400 hours, had passed breathing tests and did not provide any medical problems.

Wilson wrote, “You did not find any mechanical problems or maintenance with the plane or engines, and that all mandatory maintenance tasks were completed.”

But some observers suggested that the initial report raises questions about Boeing.

“They were not aware that the fuel had been cut,” said Sarah Stewart, a partner at the UK law firm, Stewarts, who advises families with relatives who died in the accident on Saturday.

“Realistic information raises a worrying ghost that this incident may be caused by inconceivable fuel, indicating a possible failure in Boeing systems,” Stewart said in a statement.

In 2018, the US Federal Aviation Administration warned of a potential locking feature on fuel keys on some Boeing aircraft, according to reports of 737 operators.

FAA did not consider that this “unsafe situation” requires a mandatory examination, and the Air India has not carried out. In a notice issued after the Indian initial crash report, the US agency told their international counterparts The Boeing Fuel control keys did not constitute a security problem.

However, the General Directorate of India Civil Aviation advised on Monday that all the airlines that operate Boeing affected in the country affected the completion of the inspection recommended by the Federal Aviation Administration “no later than”.

When asked about this step, Boeing said she was postponed to DGCA. The American aircraft manufacturer, which said it “will continue to support the investigation and our customers” refused to comment more.

An argument on the initial results has increased Tata efforts to reassure passengers and join forward with their repair The deformed science holderI bought it from the government in 2022 as a brand loaded with debt famous for the weak service and the aging of aircraft.

Mark Martin, CEO of Martin Consulting Airlines, said that the disaster is likely to strike Air India with third -party obligations, compensation and compensation costs, as well as the loss of long passengers due to “credibility” concerns.

But the carrier is still in demand, given that the sky of India is governed by the number of passengers close to the curtain and the number of passengers has doubled over the past decade. Air India owns 27 percent of the local market, and fails to compete with 64 percent of its competitor.

After the collapse, Air India said it reduces international services on wide body aircraft by 15 percent to carry out enhanced inspections. Many of its flights remain reserved or completely, according to travel agents, due to the decrease in the offer during a crowded season.

“We have a severe shortage of aircraft in India – we do not have the luxury of four or five airlines,” Martin said. “Immediately after the accident that had to travel a lot. I had to go to Vienna, and I had to go to Ahmed Abad. Air India flew and all of these trips were packed.”

Tata and Air India, which is held from the private sector and not released regular profits updates, refused to comment on how the accident affects the airline’s business. On Saturday, Air India said it “will continue to cooperate entirely with AAIB and other authorities as it is achieved.”

Airlines experts believe that a full investigation may take a long time. Gvg Yugandhar, head of the Indian Bureau of Investigation, told his team that was “busy in the investigation” and ordered questions to the Civil Aviation Ministry of India, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

At the present time, the initial results allowed “brutal interpretation by every man and dog.”
