AAIB gave preliminary report
Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) released a preliminary report of the accident on 12 July. The report said that soon after the takeoff, the fuel switches of both engines were closed. In the black box recording, a pilot asks the other-“Why did you cut?”, I got the answer-“I did not.”
No negative reports
The Minister of State said that the credibility report of the accident aircraft did not see any negative trend in the last six months. Despite this, the entire investigation of the accident is being done by AAIB under Rule 11.
Union aviation minister raging on Western media
Ram Mohan Naidu said that the coverage of Air India Crash may have vested interests of Western media. He further said that the government will wait for the final investigation report. Criticizing Western Media, he appreciated the Aaib to decode the black box and appealed to the world not to draw a hurry.
Naidu said that this is the first time that the country did not need to send the black box to another country, as its lab has been set up to analyze flight data and cockpit recording. He was referring to the new facility established for analysis of aircraft flight data and cockpit recording at AAIB headquarters in Delhi in April.
