Air India AI171 Plane Crash Investigation: Air India AI-171 plane crash case in Ahmedabad on June 12 has turned towards London Gatwick. Due to the damage to the black box, the necessary data has not yet been retrieved. The Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) is taking help from the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for data retrieval. Meanwhile, AAIB has found something from the London Gatwit, which can prove to be helpful in solving the Ahmedabad Air Crash’s knot.
In 2020, in the Gatwick accident, Plane achieved a height of 3580 feet and returned to a safe landing after making a Made call three times. The investigation found that the fuel system was due to the engine failure, although the engineers did not find any flaw before the takeoff. The investigation also revealed that Plane had completed three flights before the Gatvic takeoff, which had to try several times to start an engine and received stalling messages during the flight.
Engineers who cleared the flight from Gatwick did not investigate the engine intense, due to which no malfunction was found. The UK’s Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB), which investigated the 2020 incident at Gatvik Airport, is now involved in the investigation of the Ahmedabad plane crash case. Since the investigation of the 2020 incident was revealed in the fuel system, the investigation of the AI-171 plane crash case is also being seen towards the same direction. However, the possibility of sabotage has been denied so far.
Was contamination found in the plane fuel?
According to sources, if any contemplation was found in fuel due to engine failure, the maintenance records will reveal that due to negligence, the fuel system occurred in the fuel system. Cantiminated water in fuel can be a major reason for power loss in takeoff. Many times it is not known until the plane is in the air. He told that Boeing 787 Dreamliner has an advanced power system. It can also fly safely on an engine to a sufficient distance. Also, if both hydraulic systems fail, the plane can be controlled with the help of manual rivers system.
According to sources, investigators are doing chemical analysis of important parts of the debris to detect whether there were abnormal level contaminants in fuel. He said that the plane’s fuel tank has suffered a lot due to the explosion and fire. Forensic engineers have collected as much relevant debris as possible, so that marks of contemporary can be found.
