Editorial on India B788 at Ahmedabad on Jun 12th 2025, lost height shortly after takeoff, no thrust reported
There is a war of beliefs hitting the world following the crash of Air India's Boeing 787-8 VT-ANB in Ahmedabad on Jun 12th 2025, see our actual coverage at Crash: India B788 at Ahmedabad on Jun 12th 2025, lost height shortly after takeoff, no thrust reported.
One large part of people believe especially following the release of the preliminary report, it had been a deliberate act to crash the aircraft by one of the pilots and based on some unconfirmed and premature newspaper report even point towards the Captain of the flight, another part believe it might have been an accidental flip of the fuel switches, others believe the crash might have been caused by a technical failure.
Let me summarize my own opinion on this preliminary report and provide my reasons:
I believe, that the fuel switches have been moved indeed into CUTOFF and 10 seconds later back to RUN by one of the pilots.
However, not to crash the aircraft but in an attempt to RESCUE the aircraft in accordance with the memory checklist items for dual engine failure.
I believe, the engine run downs began prior to the fuel switch signal transitioning to CUTOFF and the crew reacted correctly according to the memory items for dual engine failure, which require the crew to move both fuel switches to CUTOFF, wait, then bring them back to RUN in order to reset both Engine Electronic Controls (EEC) and also force a switch to the other channel of each EEC in order to relight at least one if not both engines.
Now, how do I get to this opinion? Let me first summarize some of the relevant Boeing documentation, then provide my observations.

SUMMARY
It is therefore obvious that even on the base of the preliminary report the cause of this crash is anything but clear, any conclusion particularly pertinent the fuel switches and unintentional or intentional malicious human activity is completely premature.
As often happens, the humans in the cockpit can no longer defend themselves, and thus become all too easily the scapegoats in the conflict of interest between living parties such as designers, producers, makers, regulators, monitors, airlines, safety departments, dispatchers, maintenance personnel, ground personnel, and even investigators. As such, I always stand by the flight crew until their fault is proven or all other possible causes have been proven to be ruled out.
The investigation principles therefore are clear: rule out all technical possibilities as the cause of an occurrence, only then look at the possibilities for human (intentional or unintentional) action to be the cause.
India's AIB as well as India's Ministry of Transport were sent a copy of this editorial beforehand but did not comment nor did they answer questions to clarify the sequence of events.

Questo Editoriale pare sia “sotto un Fuoco di fila”;
Perciò, ho voluto dare un’occhiata, ma, ho visto
solo la parte iniziale e la parte finale.
Su queste due parti dell’editoriale, non vedo
niente di strano, anzi sono ponderate.
(Poi con calma lo leggerò tutto).
