In an appeal issued on 17 July, AAIB Director General GVG Yugandhar urged the public and the media to include the Indian airline in four decades and “avoid spreading premature stories” around the worst aviation disaster “. He called it “irresponsible” that the sections of international news publications are “repeatedly trying to conclude through selective and unacceptable reporting”.

Emphasizing the need to respect the sensitivity to the damage faced by the families of the victims, Yugandhar said that the initial report only tries to provide information about what happened in the accident, and is very early to reach any certain conclusion.

What did the preliminary inquiry report get?

As Preliminary inquiry report A month after the tragic incident, the Air India Boeing 787–8 aircraft, released by Aaib, crashed when both of its engines were hungry with fuel as two fuel control switches were infected in ‘cutoff’ from each other after the lift-off. The report also said that one of the pilots asked the other why he cut the fuel, for which the other pilot replied that he said he was not according to the cockpit voice recorder data.

The report does not mention that fuel control switch – which allows and cuts fuel flows into the anxis of the aircraft – physically moves, and uses the word “transition” to describe the change of mode from run to cutoffs. It also does not state that they were transferred by any pilots. However, the selective information presented in the report had many beliefs that it indicated a finger on one of the pilots. Some experts and the industry monitoring the rare flow of official information, the absence of regular updates and briefing issues on the investigation.
