Air India Plane Crash: More than two weeks have passed since the Air India aircraft accident, but the reason for this is still not completely clear. Out of 242 people could survive in the accident, all the rest had died. Now in the investigation, it is coming to light that a major reason for the accident may be the failure of both engines.
What did you get in the investigation?
Investigators and Air India pilots reiterated the circumstances of that accident in the simulator. In this, he noticed whether the aircraft could fall due to the opening gear opening and the closure of the flaps, but the simulator test found that the aircraft did not fall for these reasons.
Emergency power system warns
Just before the accident, the Emergency Power Turbine (RAT) was automatically active in the aircraft. This system is turned on only when both engines of the aircraft stop working. This has deepened the doubt that the entire supply of electricity in the aircraft was stopped at the time of the accident.
Accident repeated in simulator
Air India pilots repeated the same aircraft -like conditions on a simulator. The investigation found that the aircraft could not crash only due to landing gear out and closure of wing flaps. This indicated that there was technical disturbance in the engine or power system.
Doubt on wing flap and landing gear
The video footage revealed that the aircraft could not catch height soon after the takeoff and fell down. The simulator test revealed that the landing gear was half folded but its doors were not open, which indicates the stoppage of hydraulic failure or electricity.
What did the investigators say?
So far, Aaib (Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau) and Air India have not officially said anything, but according to sources, the cause of the accident has now turned to technical failure. The data of the black box (flight recorder) is still under investigation.
