| 16 Jun 2026 | 0026 | VT-ANB | 36279 | Air India | Notes from AVH - On Jun 12th 2026 the AAIB released this very brief interim statement without answering any of the questions the preliminary report left open despite the relevant data already known and available via the EAFR. The statement reads in part: Over the past year, the investigation team has undertaken an extensive and rigorous examination of all relevant technical, operational, organisational and human factors associated with the accident. This effort has been supported by accredited representatives, technical advisers and subject matter experts from relevant organisations. Significant progress has been made in the examination and analysis of aircraft systems, flight recorder data, engine-related components, maintenance and operational records, and other evidence relevant to the investigation. The evidence gathered and the results of various examinations are currently being analysed in a comprehensive and integrated manner. Additional technical evaluations and specialist examinations, wherever considered necessary, will continue to be undertaken to ensure that all findings and conclusions are supported by verified evidence and sound scientific analysis. Engineering Simulator Tests conducted in an investigation by a US based lawyer representing the families of 135 victims show that after moving the fuel switches to CUTOFF it takes between 14 and 18 seconds until the RAT would be able to supply hydraulic power - the results of these tests would put the time of the RAT receiving the signal to extend to or before 08:08:33Z (V1 speed achieved) and thus way before the fuel switch signals transitioned to CUTOFF at 08:08:42Z, thus disproving the RAT deployed in response to the fuel switches. The lawyer stated: "The RAT deployment is a symptom of something else going on. In order for it to be out, something has happened … if it is out prior to the fuel switch allegation, our question still is: why? It is a symptom of something that has gone wrong." |
