Insufficient data. Voices need identifying, and matching with PF and PNF, including the voice issuing the "Mayday" call.

I really don't get it why you oppose to the thought it could happen on any Boeing aircraft. Since they are all very similar switches. Maybe it's even possible to interchange some of them. There are so many errors a maintenance organization can make. Fake parts?
What really frightens me is that you and others resolutely block even to think about the possibility. Because, let's be honest, the probability is not zero (and I would say nearer to 1 than to 0). I have never moved such a switch, since I fly Airbus. Let me ask you your question differently: How many times have you moved a faulty switch? I know, that you and many others would immediatly identify such a bad switch and would render the aircraft as not airworthy. This is not the question. The question is: Has the Air India crew on that day identified the fault. And if yes, have they continued the flight preparation. You don't need a suicide theory to explain such a simple course of action. Dani A suicide is inherently a complex issue, which may be impulsive or may be pre-meditated. The may be a medical history behind the actions of a person taking their life, and in many cases there may be no past indicators. In any event, shocking though it is, a pilot's deliberate actions with the fuel controls is a possible or probable cause of the crash of AI171.

If the final report, transcript and all, is released 2 years from now, there will be little media interest. Today's media works on today and tomorrow, not the long past. Even if the tragedy was caused by a deliberate action of a pilot, it will garner little publicity. Good for the manufacturers, good for the regulatory authorities and good for the airline concerned. All will be quietly swept under the carpet, thanks to time elapsed.
But the findings could be a heartbreak for many families. To say nothing of the departed souls in the aircraft and on the ground. And the injured. Sadly there is no good solution for the issue of pilots who suffer a severe mental health problem, acute or chronic. The rules set by the medical and regulatory systems simply don't permit people who fly aircraft to work even after full recovery. Which means concealment. Until something happens. Perhaps at home, perhaps down-route, or perhaps and much worse when flying. Last edited by MissChief; 16th July 2025 at 23:22 . Reason: Spelling and grammar.

Sadly, the alleged culprit would have been very clear in his mind that a crash of a heavy fully-fuelled jet into a built-up area would not be survivable.
The crash of PIA 8303 demonstrated that perfectly, despite involving a smaller and lighter aircraft with much less fuel carriage, but at slow speed into a crowded neighbourhood. Subjects: None 1 user liked this post. |

My question concerns the investigation. Is it progressing, and when can it be expected? Clarification of events would be in everyone's interest; the airline, the aircraft manufacturer, the pilots' union, the passengers' relatives and friends, and of course the media. Subjects: None |
