Ahmedabad plane crash
Preliminary investigation report of the aircraft crashed in the Ahmedabad plane crash has arrived. This report shows that a few seconds after flying, the supply of fuel in the engine of the aircraft stopped, due to which this serious accident occurred. According to the report, both engine fuel control switches went into a 'cutoff' position, which ended the fuel in the engine and the aircraft came down rapidly and collided with a medical hostel.
These switch control the flow of fuel into engines. To allow fuel flow, this switch requires 'run' and 'cutoff' to stop. The flight data recorder recorded that in just 1 second, two switches were cut off from the run and the accident occurred. Experts believe that these switches may not be on accidentally or easily.
How are these switches?
These switches are said to be small but very powerful, which control the flow of fuel in the anxis of the aircraft. These switches are located under the Thrust Lever in the cockpit of Boeing 787. These switch pilots allow pilots to turn on or shut down the engine while flying from the ground, or to turn off and turn on them manually in the air itself. These switches are spring-loaded and they need to be deliberately pulled and shifted to change the mode. These switches require a cutoff to 'run' or to prevent fuel flow.
Record in flight data recorder
On the morning of June 12, 787 Dreamliner flew from Ahmedabad to London. But in a few seconds, the aircraft collided with the medical hostel. Meanwhile, the flight data recorder recorded a surprising scene, in which both fuel switches in just one second were on 'cutoff' from 'run'. Due to which the power of engines started to reduce immediately and the plane crash occurred.
The cockpit voice recorder recorded the conversation between the two pilots during the accident. In which a pilot was asking another pilot why you stopped fuel? The other pilot responded to this and said that I did not.
The engine did not become active even after the switch 'run'
According to the report, both switches were again taken to 'run'. This activated the automatic engine reelite system of the aircraft. The first engine started recovering, but despite repeated fuel, the other engine could not maintain its original speed. Six seconds after the pilot's 'Made' crisis call, all the recording stopped and the aircraft crashed into the medical hostel's roof, killing 260 people.
At the accident site, both fuel switches were found in 'run' position, which was because the driver was trying to turn on in the air itself. Investigators have not found any evidence of sabotage or environmental intervention. The weather was clear. No information was received about the activity of a bird.
Switch cannot be closed so easily
Aviation experts say that such switches cannot be turned on or closed by accidentally and easily. Experts say that no intelligent pilot will never close these switches while flying, because he knows that it has an immediate effect. Another expert said that these switches are independently associated with wire and electricity. Therefore, the possibility of unknowingly closed without any mechanical malfunction is extremely low.
