Air India to resume some flights following ‘safety pause’ in aftermath of Ahmedabad crash - The partial restoration of flights follows ‘precautionary checks’ on the airline’s Boeing 787 aircraft

The first officer who was flying the Boeing 787 Dreamliner asked the other captain, who was more experienced, why he moved the switches to the 'cutoff' position after it climbed off the runway

The response came after a Wall Street Journal report claimed that cockpit audio from the ill-fated flight allegedly indicated the captain had manually cut off the fuel supply to the engines. The AAIB has taken serious exception to such claims being reported as fact while the investigation is still underway.

The Federation of Indian Pilots raised significant concerns about the preliminary findings related to the Air India flight AI-171 crash in Ahmedabad, criticising the selective presentation of cockpit recordings that imply pilot error.

New Delhi, Jul 17 (PTI) A veteran pilot and aviation consultant has suggested that investigators should also focus on a possible fault in flight AI171's stabilizer, which he believes could have created conditions for the plane's crash, albeit due to an unintended mistake by the pilot.

India's aviation authorities have ordered its airlines to examine fuel switches on Boeing aircraft after a preliminary report on the fatal Air India flight crash last month found that the fuel supply was cut off after takeoff.

Lingering in his bed, the city around him still asleep, he stared at the two faces on his phone screen: his son, Harshit, and his daughter-in-law, Pooja. He stared and stared, and then moved the phone close to his lips, giving each forehead a kiss.

Final probe report on Air India plane crash will come out with root causes and recommendations, refrain from spreading premature narratives, says the investigation bureau
