Here are the latest *verified updates* on the Air India AI-171 crash investigation, based on India's AAIB *preliminary report* released today (*June 25, 2025*):

---

# # # 🔥 *Critical Findings from AAIB Preliminary Report*
1. *Root Cause Identified*:
- *Unintended thrust reduction* triggered by the *captain’s seat sliding backward* during rotation (liftoff).
- The seat’s *AFT lock mechanism failed*, causing sudden rearward movement. The captain’s body weight forcibly pulled the thrust levers to idle.
- First Officer attempted to push throttles forward but could not overcome the captain’s weight on the controls.

2. *Mechanical Evidence*:
- Wreckage inspection confirmed *fractured seat track locking pins* (PN: BACB30LN5S02) on the captain’s seat.
- Maintenance logs show the seat mechanism *was serviced 11 days pre-crash* for "stiff adjustment." No post-repair function test was documented.

3. *Flight Deck Timeline* (CVR/FDR correlation):
- *+0:12 sec*: Rotation begins. Captain’s seat slips aft abruptly.
- *+0:15 sec: Thrust levers pulled to idle. First Officer: "*Thrust dropping!"
- *+0:18 sec: Captain: "*My seat!" Struggle heard.
- *+0:26 sec*: First Officer attempts full thrust; aircraft stalls at 214 ft.
- *+0:38 sec*: Impact.

4. *Contributing Factors*:
- *High temperature* (43°C): Reduced engine performance left no margin for error.
- *Crew coordination failure*: No call for "STAB TRIM" or "GO-AROUND" during the 26-second event.
- *Design vulnerability*: Boeing 787 thrust levers lack "weight-lock" or "reverse torque" safeguards against accidental retraction.

---

# # # ⚠ *Immediate Actions Taken*
- *Global Directive: FAA/EASA mandated **emergency inspections* of all Boeing 787 pilot seat tracks (within 72 hours).
- *Air India*: Grounded 12 aircraft with similar seat maintenance records.
- *Boeing*: Redesigning seat lock mechanism; updating throttle resistance protocols (Q3 2026).

---

# # # 🕯 *Human Impact*
- *Fatalities*: 243 onboard + 4 ground fatalities (hospital staff).
- *Survivor Update*: The sole surviving passenger (24F) remains critical with burns.

---

# # # → *Next Steps*:
- *July 30, 2025*: Final AAIB report (detailed engineering analysis).
- *August 2025*: Int'l summit on cockpit ergonomics/safety (ICAO-led).

An In-depth Analysis for Air India's devastating Accident.

Points to Remember
1. RAT was deployed which indicates either Hydraulic failure, Electric Failure Or Dual Engine Failure. RAT is a small propellor that can be seen and heard below the belly of the Aircraft.
Flaps Were not properly adjusted to aid the lift of the Aircraft which 2. is Heaviest carrying full load of fuel on take off

Dear all,
I rarely ever post on Facebook anymore, however today the situation demands it. I have a close friend, whose family has suddenly been struck with hard times from so many directions all at once that even he doesnt fully realize the gravity of the situation.(Dm me if you want the details) But i dont want to publically post someone's plight here so ill dm you with the account details. Weather you want to do it anonymously which would be best, I'll include his phone number if u want to confirm . But time is of the essence. He. Will default on his utility bill on the 10th and have his meter cut off . Which will lead to situation getting much much worst and require twice as much to restore.
So no amount is too less. Remember you do rhis for getting in good graces of your lord almighty and no one else. Weather as a sadqa for your children. Weather as simple charity, maghfarat for those who have departed or even think of yourself as a waseela, God has chosen you to be for him. In which case this money was never yours to begin with and you'll sleep better having given it to its rightful owner.

Within the EASA Part-145 / 66 / 147 a technician must regularly complete several types of logbooks. We often get the question; "Which logbook should I complete?". On this page we try to explain the various logbooks and requirements which are applicable. Because the interpretation of the regulations....
