Air India Crash: Pilot Error Under Investigation | JQJO

Five weeks after a fatal Air India Boeing 787 crash, investigators are focusing on pilot error as a potential cause. A preliminary report revealed a pilot cut power to both engines by moving fuel switches, an action described as highly unusual. While some experts point to pilot action as the simplest explanation, others caution against premature conclusions, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation into mechanical, electrical, or maintenance failures. The investigation includes examining pilot medical histories and flight data recorders to determine whether the action was intentional or accidental. Speculation surrounding the incident has drawn criticism from pilot unions and organizations.
