Air India cockpit recording suggests captain cut fuel to engines before crash: Reuters


The AAIB's preliminary report said the fuel switches had switched from "run" to "cutoff" a second apart just after takeoff, but it did not say how they were moved. The fuel switches for both engines were turned back to "run", and the airplane automatically tried restarting the engines, the report said. The AAIB's preliminary report had no safety recommendations for Boeing or engine manufacturer GE. The Air India crash has rekindled debate over adding flight deck cameras, known as cockpit image recorders, on airliners. Nance said investigators likely would have benefited greatly from having video footage of the cockpit during the Air India flight.
