All kinds of speculations are being made about the investigation report of the Air India aircraft accident in Amhadabad on June 12 last month. At present, the final report is waiting for what was the real reason for this painful incident. Meanwhile, the statement of Vobindo Handa, former head of the Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation (AAIB), has come out. He says that it is too early to conclude the role of pilots based on the initial investigation report of the Air India aircraft accident.
On Sunday (July 13), Aurobindo Handa said that an attempt is being made to indicate in the foreign media that the cause of the accident could be the fault of a pilot. He said that it is too early to conclude the role of the pilot based on the initial investigation report. He said that the final report would mention the most possible cause of the accident. He said that the investigating agency should be allowed to complete the investigation in a fair and transparent manner.
'How the fuel switches of both engines suddenly closed'
A day after the Air India Bureau of Investigation Bureau (AAIB) issued a preliminary report related to the investigation of the Air India aircraft accident, Handa said that we should allow AAIB to complete the investigation in a fair, biasless and transparent manner. Handa, who has investigated more than 100 aircraft accidents, including the 2020 Air India Express accident in Kozhikode, said that now the next phase of the investigation will be on finding out how the fuel switches of the two engines suddenly closed, was there any technical or electrical disturbance?
What was said in preliminary investigation report
The preliminary inquiry report released on Saturday said that the fuel switches of the two engines were closed by a difference of one second and later they were started again. In the cockpit voice recording, a pilot asks the other why he closed the fuel switch, while the other answer he did not do so. It was not clarified in this report as to who asked the question and who answered. In this flight, co-pilot Clive Kundar (32) was a flying pilot and captain Sumit Sabharwal (56) was a monitoring pilot.
'Do not speculate and wait for the investigation to be completed'
Aurobindo Handa criticized the efforts of foreign media to convict the pilots and said that please do not speculate and wait for the investigation to be completed. He said that in some places, especially in foreign media, efforts are being made to indicate that the fault of one pilot can be. In such a situation, I would like to request my experienced people of the aviation sector to avoid any kind of speculation.
260 people lost their lives in accident

The dead include 169 Indian citizens, 53 British citizens (one survived), seven Portuguese and one Canadian citizen.
