#AirIndia | The switch won't slide down so easily; it's in a lock position. Why would a pilot switch it off just 3 seconds after the takeoff? And that too, both the engines? It's easy to blame the pilot: Fmr Senior Pilot Captain S.Bhatnagar #AirIndiaPlaneCrash | Anand Narasimhan🇮🇳

@AnchorAnandN Blame those who are dead. Those who cannot defend.

@AnchorAnandN Hacking or pre-flight sabotage? There have been so many plane accidents lately, does no one suspect systematic sabotage?

@AnchorAnandN Thank God the other pilot denied that he didn't switch off the fuel controls. Had he not responded they would have blamed the pilots for the crash

@AnchorAnandN Why would any sane man do that!The report seems to be attributing to safeguarding the reputation of Boeing and unfortunately ,the pilots being made to shoulder the blame.

@AnchorAnandN AAIB की प्रारंभिक जांच रिपोर्ट में बड़ा खुलासा हुआ है। इसमें कहा गया है कि ईंधन सप्लाई बाधित होने के बाद इंजन हवा में बंद होने की वजह है यह हादसा हुआ। रिपोर्ट में कहा गया है कि ईंधन स्विच में खराबी के संबंध में एफएफए की सलाह को भी एअर इंडिया ने नजरअंदाज किया था।

@AnchorAnandN Like in cars, fuel engines, everything is okay, but faulty batteries cut off fuel supply and turn off the engine. This can be the case of an accident.

The Engine Start Levers or Fuel Cut off switches (different name, same switches) control the fuel and ignition for the engines. The 787 shares the same switches and very similar logic to the Boeing 737 Max. The switches have been designed in such a way that they require a very deliberate movement in order for them to move from one position to another. They’re also placed in such a position (below the thrust levers) so that it’s very unlikely that they’ll be knocked. But even if they were, the spring force and detent would prevent them from moving unintentionally. When we move the start levers from the “Run” or “Idle” position, to “Cutoff”, an electrical signal is sent to move the fuel valves from open to close. The engine ignitors are also then de-powered. This stops the supply and ignition of fuel and the engine spools down. Pilots are trained from day one to only touch those switches in flight when called for by a non normal checklist, such as an engine fire or failure. When a fuel switch has to be moved to cutoff in flight, we adhere to a very strict procedure… Pilot monitoring will place their hand on the switch of the damaged engine and both visually and audibly confirm with Pilot flying that the correct fuel switch has been selected. Only after both pilots have confirmed that the correct switch has been selected, will pilot monitoring move that switch to the cutoff position. As an additional layer of safety, some aircraft types only allow the switch to be moved to cutoff in flight if the thrust levers are in the closed or idle position. Do you think that this design feature should be implemented in all aircraft? 📸 by ig/airlinepilotperformance
