India orders airlines to check fuel switch on Boeing Jets

The Indian Aviation Regulator has ordered the country’s airlines checking the Boeing aircraft switch after reporting in the Fatal Air India accident, which killed 260 in June.

Civil Aviation CEO (DGCA) said the order follows the Indian and International Airline, which are already starting their own checks.

This happens after Monday stated that the US Federal Aviation Administration stated that The fuel switches in Boeing aircraft are safe.

The safety of the switch became a key problem after a preliminary report on the catastrophe found by the fuel for the engines of the aircraft involved, cut off moments after takeoff.

Disaster involving London Flight 171Boeing 787 Dreamliner, was one of the worst aviation incidents around the world for almost ten years.

Since the publication of the previous report on Saturday, several different stakeholders both in India and internationally have taken measures and made statements in response to it.

In its order, the Indian aviation regulator has asked to hold checks until July 21, noting that “strict maintenance is essential to ensure constant safety and safety operations.”

The checked checks are in line with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Advisory Aviation Administration, which referred to the previous report.

2018 Advisory Recommendations – but not a mandate – Boeing models to check the fuel disconnection feature to make sure they cannot be moved by accident.

Air India did not conduct these inspections because they were not compulsory, AAIB reports in their preliminary investigation.

Now DGCA has ordered the airlines to hold checks and report.

In her response to the FAA report, she stated that the 2018 Advisory Campaign “was based on reports that fuel switch had been set with the locking function,” but added that it does not believe that it makes the planes dangerous.

Separately on Monday, the group, which represented the pilots of the Indian airline, defended the crew of the flight.

The Indian Commercial Pilot Association reported Employees on board “acted in accordance with their training and responsibilities in difficult conditions, and pilots should not be defeated on the basis of assumption.”

The previous report published by the India’s Emergency Investigation Department (AAIB) said on Saturday that the $ 171 switch, which controls the fuel flow to the Jet engines, were transferred from the “launch” to the “cut” position, preventing the crash of the plane.

The reports of the reports said that one of the pilots can be heard: “Why did you cut off?” – To which another pilot replied that “did not do it.”

The previous report states that his role is: “Not in conversation with the fault and responsibility.”

Also on Monday, the Reuters news agency reported that South Korea expected all airlines in the country working with Boeing Jets to study fuel switch.
