The tragic Ahmedabad flight AI171 crash on June 12 led Air India to take a ‘safety pause’ to run checks on its Boeing 787 fleet.

Air India announces phased resumption after ‘safety pause’ triggered by Ahmedabad plane crash

India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) released its initial report into the Air India plane crash that killed 260 people, pointing out that within seconds of takeoff, the engine switches were moved from the "run" to the "cutoff" position.

Nearly three hours later, after ground clearance, the aircraft lifted. "The aircraft air/ground sensors transitioned to air mode, consistent with liftoff," the report said. The aircraft reached its maximum airspeed of 180 knots. After that, the report said: “Immediately thereafter, the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec.” The Engine N1 and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cut off, it added. In 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. The CCTV footage obtained from the airport showed Ram Air Turbine (RAT) getting deployed during the initial climb immediately after lift-off The aircraft started to lose altitude before crossing the airport perimeter wall. Both engines' values "passed below minimum idle speed", and the RAT hydraulic pump began supplying hydraulic power. Engine 1 fuel cutoff switch transitioned from CUTOFF to RUN. Engine 2 fuel cutoff switch also transitions from CUTOFF to RUN. When fuel control switches are moved from CUTOFF to RUN while the aircraft is in flight, each engine's full authority dual engine control (FADEC) automatically manages a relight and thrust recovery sequence of ignition and fuel introduction, the report explained. Engine 1’s core deceleration stopped, reversed, and started to progress to recovery. Engine 2 was able to relight but could not arrest core speed deceleration and reintroduced fuel repeatedly to increase core speed acceleration and recovery. One of the two pilots sounded "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday" alert. Data recording stopped. Also read: Air India crash: Can pilots accidentally shut engines?
