First 787 Dreamliner crash: Air India

That doesn't make sense. Pulling back the engines like that wouldn't shut them down so electrical power would not be lost. The RAT was deployed and the survivor described electrical failure based on the lights changing in the cabin (green and white for emergency).

That story seems fake and trying to base on it on this real incident of a 787: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/travel/latam-flight-la800-incident-report-reveals-pilot-seat-moved-forward/Z2SMGHS5TVFBXEL6RKPIKDXG2M/

 

I remember that incident and recall that Boeing created a fix to keep that from happening again.

 

Some good news out of India. They have been able to successfully download the data from both the CVR and FDR after indicating they were having difficulty. In theory .....they should know by now what happened in those 34 seconds. As to them releasing any data......I'm sure that will happen eventually.......

 

I have a flight Saturday night on a 787 and I hope if it is something that affects all planes they can let people know sooner rather than later...

 

It is a great airplane. I believe if it was an aircraft issue.....the FAA would have published a Notice shortly after the boxes were downloaded. The longer it goes.....the more likely it is a mistake was made in the cockpit.

 

Also issue due to improper mtx, as Air India had 787's on the ground in Delhi a few years ago for over 6 months. No one qualified to put back in service. Let me just say I would not fly on Air India ever. I work in the airline industry.

 

Does anyone know about British Airways issues with their 787 fleet? Or is Flig Avia doing their usual anti-Boeing exaggeration?
