AI Pilots Carry Simulator Test After Ahmedabad Crash; Results Show Boeing 787-8 Kept Flying
GUJARAT, INDIA, JUL 02 – Preliminary investigations focus on a rare simultaneous failure of both engines as the likely cause of the crash that killed over 260 people, with black box data under analysis.
- On June 12, Air India flight AI-171, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner near Ahmedabad, crashed with over 260 fatalities, marking the aircraft's first fatal incident.
- Early AAIB findings suggest a rare dual-engine failure caused the Ahmedabad crash, with sabotage and pilot error ruled out in the investigation scope.
- Black box data and simulator tests suggest a technical fault, with only 15 seconds between Mayday and impact, and failed to replicate the crash scenario.
- The Ahmedabad crash's immediate aftermath saw DGCA launch a probe into a subsequent serious incident involving Air India flight AI-187, heightening airline safety scrutiny.
- Investigators from Boeing and the NTSB support the AAIB, with a July 11 report deadline, which could influence global aviation safety standards.
