Air India Crash: From Takeoff To Engine Failure: How AI-171 Ended In Disaster In Just 94 Seconds

A preliminary report on the tragic Air India plane crash of June 12 has been released by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). It mentions that the takeoff roll for the flight started at 13:37:37 IST and transitioned to airborne mode just over a minute later at 13:38:39 IST.Within seconds, it achieved a peak airspeed of 180 knots IAS, but what followed was a sudden and inexplicable loss of thrust. Both engines’ fuel cutoff switches were moved from RUN to CUTOFF almost simultaneously, leading to a rapid drop in engine power.As soon as the engine lost core and fan speed (N1 and N2), the aircraft began losing altitude. The cockpit voice recorder captured confusion between the pilots, with one asking, “Why did you cutoff?" and the other denying the action.At 13:39:05 IST, the pilot issued a distress call- “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY"-indicating the severity of the emergency. While the emergency services were dispatched at 13:44:44 IST, the situation became beyond recovery. n18oc_breaking-newsn18oc_indiaNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
