India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has issued an appeal to the public and the media to stop speculating about the cause of the Air India crash. This comes less than a week after the agency released a preliminary report that raises more questions than provides answers.
The Flight Safety Detectives share this latest development in an investigation that has been poorly handled from the start.
The AAIB has raised many questions that they could and should answer. The preliminary report did not identify any issues with the engines or aircraft systems, leaving pilot decisions and pilot actions as more likely causes of the crash. Key details have not been shared, including identifying who made the statements shared in the report or which pilot took what action.
John Goglia, Greg Feith and Todd Curtis do not support the request in the AAIB appeal that the media and others wait for AAIB and not speculate about the cause of the crash or the investigation. Many people were killed and they have a duty to inform everyone – including other airlines – who want to know if there are any aviation safety issues that need to be addressed.
