Precipita Volo Air India diretto a Londra AI 171


Il che e' sospetto di per se. Come dicevano gli antenati "excusatio non petita accusatio manifesta"

Comunque e' un pasticcio, magari e' una dichiarazione incauta ma che non centra niente con i fatti.

Eccolo la.

Era talmente nell'aria che ieri stavo per postare sul 3d del suicida di Bergamo i commenti su questo topic, per sbaglio. Poi magari e' una bufala.

Almeno il mezzo va bene e si spiega perche' non c'e' stato bisogno di avvertire o grounding.

Sarei davvero curioso di sapere quali sono le sue fonti, visto che al momento "questa esclusiva" la riporta solo lui.
Tra l'altro all'interno dell'articolo Leonard nazionale è il primo a parlare di ipotesi prevalente (che però - cito testualmente - può cambiare nel corso dei prossimi mesi) e del fatto che non vi è ancora alcuna certezza.

Peccato che invece il titolo sia perentorio nella sua sentenza e non parli di ipotesi.

Io mi stupisco del livello infimo raggiunto da Il Corriere, in quelli che oramai sono articoli per generare click che portano revenues più che per informare.

Il capolinea della Stampa è sempre più vicino.
 
Quello che è da capire (se effettivamente le start levers erano su cutoff)è se l'azione è stata fatta prima del problema ai motori o dopo. La differenza è abissale.

Intanto crollano le prenotazioni e gli yield di Air India specie sul lungo raggio e la compagnia è costretta a pensanti riduzioni e sospensioni di rotte.

Air India bookings down 20%; fares dip up to 15% after Dreamliner crash

Bookings for Air India flights have declined by around 20 per cent on domestic as well as international routes while the average fares have dropped by 8-15 per cent in the aftermath of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crash last week, Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO) President Ravi Gosain said on Friday.

An Air India spokesperson did not respond to a query seeking comments from the airline.

A London-bound Air India flight, AI-171 carrying 242 passengers and crew members crashed in Ahmedabad on June 12. All but one on board the plane died along with nearly 29 on the ground when the aircraft smashed into a medical complex in Meghaninagar area of the city shortly after takeoff.

"Following the unfortunate incident involving Air India, we have observed a temporary decline in bookings, particularly on international sectors. While the exact percentage varies by route, our estimates indicate a dip of around 18-22 per cent on international bookings and a 10-12 per cent decline domestically in the immediate aftermath. However, this appears to be a short-term sentiment-driven reaction, as confidence typically stabilizes over time," Gosain told PTI.

The IATO president shared that there has been a moderate adjustment in fares across key Air India routes.

"On an average, ticket prices have reduced by 8-12 per cent on domestic sectors where the airline competes directly with low cost carriers like IndiGo and Akasa. On international routes, especially to Europe and Southeast Asia, fares have seen a drop of 10-15 per cent, depending on route occupancy and competition. These reductions are mix of promotional strategies and yield correction due to lowered demand," Gosain said.

Asked whether there have been cancellations by travellers for Air India flights booked via tour operators, the IATO president said, "Yes, we have witnessed a noticeable rise in cancellations, particularly from corporate and high-end leisure travellers who prefer to switch to alternative carriers".

He informed that the increase in cancellations was 15-18 per cent internationally, and 8-10 per cent domestically over the past week. However, this trend may normalize in the coming days as no systemic safety issue has been reported and authorities like DGCA reaffirm Air India's compliance with international safety standards.

Federation of Associations in Indian Tourism & Hospitality (FAITH) General Secretary Rajiv Mehra also shared that an up to 20 per cent decline in bookings has been observed for Air India flights while the fares have turned cheaper by about 10 per cent on certain sectors where there is high competition with other carriers.

"As far as Air India is concerned, fares are around 10 per cent cheaper for both domestic and international routes than other airlines on certain sectors. Besides, there is a 15-20 per cent decline in new bookings for Air India flights on domestic as well as international routes after the crash," Mehra said.

He asserted that all airlines have to pull up their socks as far as aircraft maintenance is concerned, to ensure passengers.

Infatti! Comodo tirare la colpa addosso ai piloti che non possono difendersi. Fra l'altro che motivo avrebbero per un gesto volontario del genere? Poi in questa teoria non viene spiegato il colpo sentito dal superstite ad esempio. Una spiegazione all'intervento sul pannello è che magari hanno provato a riaccendere i motori, però finché non esce il rapporto magari suffragato da quanto rilevato dalle scatole nere è difficile dare sentenze... a meno che non ti chiami Leonard.

un rumore dovrebbe essere quello del dispiegamento del RAT
 
^^ Pero' questo tweet e' molto dettagliato, ma e' autentico?
India's AAIB has released its Preliminary Report into the crash of AI flight 171:The aircraft achieved the maximum recorded airspeed of 180 Knots IAS at about 08:08:42 UTC and immediately thereafter, the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec. The Engine N1 and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cut off. In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so.
 
Contiene piu' o meno lo stesso testo postato su X.

La pagina piu' rilevante per quanto ci capisco e' la 14-15, quoto qui il testo:

As per the EAFR data, the aircraft crossed the take-off decision speed V1 and achieved 153kts IAS at 08:08:33 UTC. The Vr speed (155 kts) was achieved as per the EAFR at 08:08:35UTC. The aircraft air/ground sensors transitioned to air mode, consistent with liftoff at 08:08:39UTC.The aircraft achieved the maximum recorded airspeed of 180 Knots IAS at about 08:08:42UTC and immediately thereafter, the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitionedfrom RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec. The Engine N1and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cutoff.In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff.The other pilot responded that he did not do so.The CCTV footage obtained from the airport showed Ram Air Turbine (RAT) getting deployedduring the initial climb immediately after lift-off (fig. 15). No significant bird activity is observedin the vicinity of the flight path. The aircraft started to lose altitude before crossing the airportperimeter wall.Figure 15 CCTV screenshot of RAT DeploymentAs per the EAFR data both engines N2 values passed below minimum idle speed, and theRAT hydraulic pump began supplying hydraulic power at about 08:08:47 UTC.RAT in extended position15As per the EAFR, the Engine 1 fuel cutoff switch transitioned from CUTOFF to RUN at about08:08:52 UTC. The APU Inlet Door began opening at about 08:08:54 UTC, consistent withthe APU Auto Start logic. Thereafter at 08:08:56 UTC the Engine 2 fuel cutoff switch alsotransitions from CUTOFF to RUN. When fuel control switches are moved from CUTOFF toRUN while the aircraft is inflight, each engines full authority dual engine control (FADEC)automatically manages a relight and thrust recovery sequence of ignition and fuel introduction.The EGT was observed to be rising for both engines indicating relight. Engine 1’s coredeceleration stopped, reversed and started to progress to recovery. Engine 2 was able torelight but could not arrest core speed deceleration and re-introduced fuel repeatedly toincrease core speed acceleration and recovery. The EAFR recording stopped at 08:09:11UTCAt about 08:09:05 UTC, one of the pilots transmitted “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY”. TheATCO enquired about the call sign. ATCO did not get any response but observed the aircraftcrashing outside the airport boundary and activated the emergency response.At 08:14:44 UTC, Crash Fire Tender left the airport premises for Rescue and firefighting. Theywere joined by Fire and Rescue services of Local Administration

Anzi, allego tutto. Se non e' il caso cancelliamo.
