India’s Air Accident Investigation Bureau’s preliminary report on the Air India Flight 171 crash has raised new questions. The Boeing 787 crashed in Ahmedabad last month, killing 260 people. The report mentions fuel cut-off switches were flipped seconds after take-off, but no cockpit voice transcript was shared. Aviation experts criticize the report as selective, lacking crucial details on pilot actions. Speculation about pilot error or intentional action has been condemned by India’s pilots’ association. Investigations continue, with experts demanding transparency. A final report is expected within a year, though delays are common in aviation probes. (PC: BBC)
