Preliminary insights into the June 12 Air India AI‑171 crash from Ahmedabad highlight possible human error in critical early-stage procedures. A young IndiGo pilot noted the rarity of issues just after liftoff, suggesting possible dual-engine failure or bird strike, pending black‑box analysis. A former crew member stressed pre-flight and cockpit checks are complex, involving countless safeguards—and that routine pressures can lead to overlooked steps. Investigators are examining flap and gear configurations alongside thrust issues, while authorities analyse chain‑reaction scenarios rather than single errors. The final report might take up to a year. (PC: The Print)
