Fuel Switch US mein Inspection ke liye gaya
India ka Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) ne order diya hai ki Air India ke Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner ka ek fuel control switch US mein original equipment manufacturer (OEM) ko inspection ke liye bheja jaaye. Yeh decision tab liya gaya jab ek pilot ne February 2 ko report kiya ki switch apne 'RUN' position se 'CUTOFF' position mein bina properly lock hue move ho sakta hai.
Boeing ka kehna hai Switch theek hai
Air India ne Boeing ke guidance ke baad apne saare 787s aur is specific aircraft ko test kiya. OEM ne test results ko review kiya aur conclude kiya ki fuel control switch bilkul sahi kaam kar raha hai. Lekin, DGCA ne phir bhi US mein ek independent inspection ka faisla kiya taaki critical component ki airworthiness ko confirm kiya ja sake. Yeh move aerospace industry mein aircraft systems ko maintain rakhne par focus dikhata hai, especially 787 Dreamliner jaise wide-body planes ke liye.
Safety Concerns aur Crash Probe
Yeh component inspection aise time pe ho raha hai jab India ka Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) ek fatal Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crash ke final report issue karne ki tayyari kar raha hai jo June 12, 2025 ko hua tha aur jisme 260 log maare gaye the. AAIB ki preliminary report mein suggest kiya gaya tha ki accident se pehle fuel supply mein disturbance ho sakti hai, jisse pilot error ya system failure ki sambhavna thi. Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) ne propose kiya hai ki pilot ki actions nahi, balki ek electrical issue cause ho sakta hai. Is naye component inspection ke timing ne India mein Boeing 787 fleet ke safety record par focus badha diya hai.
