Air India: Where is the Survey on the Coast – The Measures announced by Authorities
Three points focuses on a survey of Air India’s Air India flight experts, which cost the lives of 265 people, and dozens are injured. These, according to a source at India’s regulatory authority, are the engines, fins, and the aircraft landing system.
The Authority also announced that security checks across the Air India fleet were ordered.
The survey also includes experts on terrorism experts
The air crash in Ahmedabad, India, is the worst in the last decade. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, with 230 passengers and 12 crews, was destined for Gatwick Airport in London.
Air India’s aircraft began to lose a few minutes after taking off, over a residential area of Ahmedabad. He fell on the building of the hostel of the local medical college, causing a huge fiery bullet.
Dead are 241 of the occupants and 24 people in the hostel, according to authorities in India. One passenger was only rescued and will soon be discharged.
Where do the investigations focus
So far, during the investigations at the site of the crash of the Air India aircraft, one of the two « black boxes » has been found. This is the flight data recorder, found on the roof of the hostel, where the aircraft crashed. At present, there is no information on the voice recorder in the cockpit, the other black box. Examination of « black boxes » (orange in reality) is critical to research.
A source with immediate knowledge of investigations told Reuters that the airline and the Indian government are considering various scenarios for the causes of the crash. These include potential problems with motors, fins, or landing system.
This remained open after the plane took off, according to videos before the crash.
The same source said that the research also includes experts on terrorism experts, but that the possibility of a bird’s impact is not one of the possible scenarios. Another issue being considered is any responsibility of the airline, including maintenance issues.
Reportedly, in the last year this aircraft had made more than 700 flights.
Crash
American, former US Air Force Air Force (FAA) Air Force (FAA) Air Force Researcher Jeff, Guzetti, said from the first moment of the accident that both engines were likely to be losing power at the same time. He explained that, even if the plane lost one engine, the second engine should be able to raise it high.
Increased checks and maintenance measures
According to the source that spoke to Reuters, the India government is considering whether it should cling to the Boeing-787 fleet for as long as the investigation is. However, the information has not been confirmed by Air India, Boeing or the responsible ministry. Air India has more than 30 Dreamliner, Boeing 787-8 and 787-9.
India’s regulatory authority, as part of the measures to prevent new incidents, ordered Air India to carry out additional maintenance actions on these aircraft. Boeing 787-8/9 are equipped with Genx engines. It also imposed a « one -off check » of take -off parameters before leaving each flight from midnight on June 15.
The airline has also been instructed to introduce a « flight audit inspection » to ensure that control systems are operating properly. Also, carry out power assurance checks, with the aim of verifying engine capacity to produce the required power within two weeks.
Multinational research group
Researchers from India, the United Kingdom and the US have arrived to investigate the crash. Tata, the Air India group, said there would be complete transparency of the findings of the research. Tata President Natarajam Chandrascaran said that the company wants to understand what happened: « We don’t know at the moment. »
The GE Aerospace aircraft engine manufacturer said it supports the measures taken by India’s Aviation Regulatory Authority for enhanced Air India fleet security inspections. « Security is our top priority, » a spokesman said. « We are committed to providing all necessary technical support to understand the cause of this accident. »
