Air India Plane Crash - Most probable reasons In a very unfortunate incident, A plane going from Ahmedabad to London crashed just after take off in initial climb 242 souls were aboard, 230 passengers and 12 crew including 169 Indian, 53 British, 7 Portuguese, 1 Canadian 1/12
Air India Flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, took off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, Ahmedabad at around 13:38 IST, aircraft managed to climb to approximately 625 ft, then vanished from radar about five minutes post-takeoff
Plane fell on a habitat building (Doctor's Mess) and apart from people onboard, many people on ground are also suspected to die. DGCA and Air India have launched thorough investigations in coordination with the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) to determine cause
Most primary cause of plane crash are Pilot error - 50% Mechanical Failure - 18% Weather - 12% Sabotage 7% Human error - 7% Bird Strike - 2% Till now we know - Crash happened during initial climb - Weather was good - Pilot was very experienced - Ahmedabad is bird active area
45% time plane crash happens during landing 14% time crash happens during take off and initial climb Air India Flight 171 crashed during initial climb If we check major reason of crash during initial climb then previous data changes
In overall crashes Pilot error is 50% Mechanical failure is 18% Bird Strike is 2% But in take off and initial climb crashes Pilot error is 30% Mechanical failure goes up to 30% and check here Bird Strike goes from 2% to 20%
So as per past data Mechanical failure or Bird Strike looks most probable case Just after wheels leave the runway, engines are under max load, At low altitude, very little time for recovery. High engine stress can lead to failure There may be two reasons for this failure
Maintenance error or Bird strike Now lets talk about Boing 787-8 Dreamliner As on today, Air India Flight AI171 crash is the first-ever fatal crash involving the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner and the first total hull-loss since it entered service in 2011
There are 1100 Dreamliners flying worldwide and they never crashed before though many mechanical issues have happened in this plane but casualties never happened But the area around Ahmedabad airport is indeed known for high bird activity and bird strikes have been a
recurring safety concern there Many bird strikes incident had happened in Ahmedabad Airport has implemented an extensive bird management program: vegetation control, insect management, anti-perching devices, acoustic deterrents, and wildlife relocation to reduce bird presence
So by data most probable reason looks mechanical failure Reason may be maintenance or bird strike But actual reason may be different also and will come out soon by enquiry 11/12
My thoughts and prayers are with families of all 242 passengers and crew, as well as innocent lives affected on the ground This heartbreaking tragedy has touched hearts across India, the UK, and beyond. May those who perished find peace, and may their families find strength,
