Aviation experts criticize the Air India crash report, claiming pilot scapegoating and highlighting concerns over premature assumptions of procedural lapses in the cockpit.
The report by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) revealed that both engines shut down mid-air shortly after take-off, but did not determine the cause of the shutdown.
Experts like Captain Shakti Lumba question the accuracy of the report, citing limitations in flight data recording and calling for a more comprehensive investigation, possibly by a 'Judicial Court of Inquiry.'
Industry stakeholders, including the Airline Pilots’ Association of India, raise concerns over transparency in the investigation, emphasizing the need for more detailed analysis and synchronization of data from recorders to ensure the integrity and safety of ongoing operations.
