Air India plane crash: AI-171 probe looks at Gatwick takeoff incident 5 yrs ago for possible clues

Investigators are examining the June 12 Air India flight AI-171 crash in London, focusing on a possible power failure shortly after takeoff. The probe includes reviewing technical logs and comparing the incident to a 2020 Gatwick incident involving similar engine malfunction due to fuel contamination. Initial findings suggest a main electric system power failure, hindering the Ram Air Turbine's effectiveness. Analysis of wreckage, ATC communications, and maintenance records are underway, pending black box data recovery to determine the exact cause.
