Simulation of crashed Air India jet puts focus on technical flaw
More than two weeks after the deadly crash of an Air India plane that killed all but one of the 242 people on board, investigators and the airline are studying possible dual engine failure as a scenario that prevented the Boeing Co. 787 jet from staying airborne. Pilots from the airline reenacted the doomed aircraft's parameters in a flight simulator, including with the landing gear deployed and the wing flaps retracted, and found those settings alone didn't cause a crash, according to people familiar with the investigation. The result, alongside the previous discovery that an emergency-power turbine deployed seconds before impact, has reinforced the focus on a technical failure as one possible cause, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing non-public deliberations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tom Cruise's Daughter Is Hands Down The Most Beautiful Woman In The World Fab Pop Undo The simulated flight was conducted separately from the official probe being led by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, or AAIB, and was done to explore possible scenarios, one of the people said. The Boeing 787 that crashed in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad on June 12 was powered by two engines made by General Electric Co. Video footage of the aircraft showed the plane struggling to gain altitude after taking off, and then sinking back to the ground, where it exploded. Live Events Additional Clues Boeing declined to comment and deferred any questions to AAIB, while GE said it cannot comment on an active investigation. The AAIB and Air India did not respond to a request for comment. Whether or why both engines would have simultaneously lost power remains unknown, but investigators will seek additional clues from the two flight recorders, whose data has been extracted and is undergoing analysis. The investigation is exploring a wide range of scenarios, though a closer focus is on technical issues, the people said. Pilots who reviewed the footage have pointed to the fact that the landing gear was already partially tilted forward, suggesting the cockpit crew had initiated the retraction sequence of the wheels. At the same time, the landing-gear doors had not opened, which pilots say might mean that the aircraft experienced a loss of power or a hydraulic failure — again pointing to possible issues with the engines that provide the aircraft's electricity. The engines of modern aircraft are computer controlled using a system called Full Authority Digital Engine Control, or FADEC, which helps pilots control an aircraft's power and makes sure the engines are used efficiently and not outside their operating limits. An emergency turbine called the RAT, which deploys from the back of the aircraft in the case of electrical failure, was activated before the plane crashed, according to previous findings. That fan helps provide the aircraft with vital power, though it's far too small to generate any lift. 15 Seconds Analysis of the wreckage suggests the wing flaps and slats, which help an aircraft increase lift during takeoff, were extended correctly. The crash ranks as the worst accident in Indian civil aviation in several decades, and it's the first time that a Boeing 787 Dreamliner has been lost to an accident. The pilots, who died in the crash, sent out a Mayday signal shortly after takeoff. There were only about 15 seconds between the distress call and impact, two people familiar with the investigation said. Teams from Boeing and the US National Transportation Safety Board are supporting the investigation on the ground. It's unknown when authorities will give an update from readout of the flight recorders, which typically provide a comprehensive analysis of an aircraft's settings and performance metrics as well as conversations in the cockpit.

Air India Crash Preliminary Report Next Week, Will Outline Possible Causes
The preliminary probe report on the Air India crash, in which at least 270 people were killed - including 241 on board the flight - is expected to be released by July 11. The document, which is expected to be four to five pages long, will be crucial because it will provide initial insights into the crash, including the possible causes. Sources said the report will include details about the aircraft, which was a Boeing Dreamliner 787-8, the crew, conditions at the Ahmedabad airport, and the weather on June 12, when Air India flight 171 crashed, roughly 30 seconds after taking off. Details about the wreckage will also be part of the report, as will the name of the investigator in charge. The document will chart the progress of the probe, outline the next steps that need to be taken and highlight areas that need further investigation. As per International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) guidelines, India is required to file a preliminary report within 30 days of the crash. 'All Angles' Last month, the junior minister for Civil Aviation, Murlidhar Mohol had told NDTV that all angles are being investigated in the crash, including sabotage. "It (the plane crash) was an unfortunate incident. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has begun a full investigation into it... It is being probed from all angles, including any possible sabotage. The CCTV footage is being reviewed and all angles are being assessed... several agencies are working on it," he had said. Last month, the junior minister for Civil Aviation, Murlidhar Mohol had told NDTV that all angles are being investigated in the crash, including sabotage. "It (the plane crash) was an unfortunate incident. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has begun a full investigation into it... It is being probed from all angles, including any possible sabotage. The CCTV footage is being reviewed and all angles are being assessed... several agencies are working on it," he said. "It has never happened that both engines have shut down together... Once the (full) probe report comes out, we will be able to ascertain if it was an engine problem or fuel supply issue or why both the engines had stopped functioning. There is a CVR (cockpit voice recorder) in the black box which has stored the conversation between the two pilots. It is too early to say anything but whatever it is, it will come out," the minister added. The complete probe report is expected in roughly two months from now, which would be three months from the day of the crash. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which was operating as Air India flight AI-171 to London, had taken off from Ahmedabad on the afternoon of June 12 and crashed into the complex of the BJ Medical College - an aerial distance of less than 2 km. The crash took place at 1.39 pm, just 32 seconds after the aircraft took off. Of the 242 people, including 10 crew members and two pilots, on board the flight, only one - 40-year-old Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British-Indian who was returning to the UK after a visit - survived. At least 30 people on the ground, including trainee doctors, were also killed.

UK families of crash victims may sue Air India, Boeing over compensation: Sources
The UK-based families of the victims who died in the Air India (AI 171) crash are considering legal action against the airline and aircraft manufacturer Boeing in UK courts over enhanced compensation, sources told India but one of the 242 passengers and crew on board the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and another 34 individuals who were on the ground, were killed when the London-bound aircraft crashed into a medical college campus within seconds of takeoff in the deceased, 181 were Indian nationals, while 52 were from the UK. Sources said the families of the victims were consulting with UK-based law firm Keystone Law to file potential lawsuits against Air India and Boeing. The lawsuits are likely to be regarding seeking enhanced Tata Group, which owns Air India, had previously announced a compensation of Rs 1 crore. It later announced an additional compensation of Rs 25 lakh each to the families to help meet immediate financial Law has acknowledged that it was in discussions with multiple families who lost loved ones in one of the worst aviation disasters in said a series of meetings have been lined up this week between the law firm and UK-based relatives of the victims to chart out the are reviewing the recent actions taken by the lead aviation insurer for Air India, TataAIG, in relation to early offers of financial settlement and the obligations of Air India under international law to provide advanced payments to all next of kin," Keystone Law said.A final decision on legal proceedings will be taken after the conclusion of this week's meetings.- EndsTune InMust Watch
