In that video there's a large puff of dust as they become airborne... from that I'd assume they were very close to the end of the runway if not slightly past it. It looks like they barely had enough speed to get airborne, and what little speed they did have didn't take them very far. The big question is why they barely climbed... performance issue, engine failure, birdstrike? No idea.

Looks to me like the plane yaws to the right just after takeoff, and puff of dust only on the left side of the plane. Right engine failure?

Aerodynamically it would fit with taking off without flaps - normal rotation and climb until clear of ground effect at around 200ft at which point the lift would drop a lot. It\x92s not a single engine failure as no sign of yaw.

hasn\x92t every jet had a take off configuration warning for about 30 years now? Surely the 787 has something far more advanced than that (electronic checklists) as well as airlines having various SOPs to catch that. Retracting flaps instead of gear is plausible (but as I said above doesn\x92t really align with the apparent mayday call they got out) but taking off with zero flaps would be unthinkable for anything as modern as a Dreamliner surely

Considering the RAT is 100% out as evidenced from footage both visually and audibly; the initial conclusion can only be both engines have failed, or one failed, and the other unfortunately shut down.

The loss of lift would
begin
immediately.
It looks like they used up an awful lot of runway so potentially incorrect performance and thrust setting, incorrect flap setting, chuck in a temperature inversion or changing winds too if you like and mistakenly retracting flaps instead of the gear could well be the last orifice of the Emmental. 3 users liked this post. |

Nonsense. Please don\x92t post things as fact that are just speculation.

Absolutely. I just have no idea however how Air India train their persons to do memory items. Our brains can do very interesting things in stressed times, which as an experienced skipper I\x92m sure you\x92ll be aware of

The entire flight from rotation to impact was 30 seconds. Is it even possible to complete an engine shutdown in that time?

You certainly should try that\x92s for sure. ANC and all that good stuff! In a panic it certainly is possible to just pull the wrong one. I\x92m not saying that\x92s what\x92s happened, to me it seems like dual engine failure, practically simultaneously.

I don't really understand why so many people have latched so hard onto the theory that the flaps were not extended based off nothing but a poor quality video (while also ignoring other clues in that same video, such as what is almost certainly the sound of a ram air turbine - never mind that even in that video you
can
equally conclude that the slats and flaps are extended).
One would think it sensible to at least wait for higher quality images/video to emerge before saying it with confidence, given how incredible the claim and aspersions being cast on the crews' basic competence and professionalism are. It\x92s then taking off heavy weight with 35c and the flaps have been raised and the gear is still down. As nobody realised the flaps had been raised instead of the gear when it happened they automatically think it\x92s some other issue as the aircraft loses lift and the amber band rapidly rises and the aircraft runs out of lift. could be something else like fuel or 2 engine failure but seems possible it\x92s an action slip also. I didn\x92t see the RAT deployed but saw the gear down still and an aircraft fall out of the sky with what sounded like engines running still. 1 user liked this post. |

No the plane barely took off the runway, low power setting/bad flaps. Unless you are saying a double engine failure before take off but seriously how likely is that? It's much more plausible to mess up the take off settings we have seen it many times before. But I think we will find out soon, no need to speculate too much.

Ok, so...
Some have said the RAT appears to have been deployed. This would suggest a hydraulic/electrical failure on the plane. A hydraulic/electrical failure could well make it impossible to retract the gear immediately. But, what do flaps do in the event of a major hydraulic/electrical failure? Is there a default that they revert back to? We can, I think, rule out engine failure, at least single engine failure because the rudder is still straight on in the Video. You can also hear the engines.. |

loud bang?
Its like the lift was sucked out of it! Looks like a overloaded 172 trying to climb out a valley towards rising mountains on a hot summers day.
Was the take off weight entered wrong? rotate too soon and nurse it along? The rotate and initial climb looked normal for the first couple hundred feet though What could cause a loud bang on climb out? - Compressor stall - Engine failure - Load shift in aft cargo hold It really is a mystery 787 drivers - How would autothrust typically function? What would an impaired airspeed indication/sense look like? |
