Investigation Points to Pilot Error in Air India Crash
Authorities probing the recent Air India flight crash have reportedly identified pilot error as a likely contributing factor, according to sources familiar with the investigation. The incident, which occurred last month, resulted in significant damage to the aircraft and multiple injuries, though no fatalities were reported.
Preliminary findings suggest that miscommunication between the cockpit crew and mishandling of critical flight controls may have led to the accident. Investigators are examining flight data recorders and cockpit voice recordings to determine the exact sequence of events.
An official from India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) stated that while technical failures had not been ruled out, initial evidence pointed toward human error. The crew’s response to an unexpected weather condition is also under scrutiny.
Air India has pledged full cooperation with the inquiry and emphasized its commitment to safety protocols. The airline has temporarily reassigned the involved pilots pending further review.
This incident has reignited discussions about pilot training standards and emergency preparedness in the aviation industry. Regulatory bodies are expected to review procedures to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
