Air India Crash: Could Cockpit Video Recorders Have Unveiled The Fuel Cut-Off Mystery?
Last Updated: The big question in the AI-171 crash is if the fuel cut-off happened by mistake, was sabotage, or an inherent technical fault as flagged once by the FAA seven years ago Commercial airlines do not have any cockpit video cameras—something that may have resolved the mystery on how the fuel cut-off switches on the ill-fated AI-171 moved from 'RUN' to 'CUTOFF' position and led to one of the worst aviation disasters. For the last 15 years, the US National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) has been recommending such video recorders inside the cockpits of commercial airlines, both existing and future ones, in addition to the cockpit voice recorders. NTSB has made this recommendation repeatedly, and in its last list of 'most-wanted" transportation safety improvements too. But privacy concerns cited by pilot associations have thwarted this move. The big question in the AI-171 crash is did the fuel cut off happen by mistake, was sabotage, or an inherent technical fault as flagged once by the FAA seven years ago? As per the initial report of the AAIB, all one has as an indication so far is from the cockpit voice recording. One of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he 'cutoff". The other pilot responded that he did not do so. There is no visual recording of what had transpired. A visual recording would have shown whose hand was on the cut-off switch, or did it happen on its own. But it may remain a mystery now, unless the final investigation report expected after some months reveals the same. The Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of just one second, the report says. The NTSB has recommended that the Federal Aviation Administration require new and in-service commercial jets be equipped with a 'crash-protected cockpit image recording system". This would be an enhancement from the flight-data and cockpit-voice recorders. Will the AI-171 mystery be the cue for it? view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
