Ahmedabad Plane Crash: Human Error to Engine Failure, Commercial Pilot Weighs In On the Causes of Air India 787 Crashing After Take Off

In a horrifying incident of Ahmedabad Plane Crash, an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner met with a crash due to an engine failure when it hadn't even left Ahmedabad Airport much — raising alarms (FLAGS) on safety, dependability, and quality checks for Dreamliner aircraft. Initial expert assessments suggest causes from technical faults to human error, but the official investigation is ongoing.

Initial reports indicated that the flight took off without incident but encountered problems minutes later. Before the plane went down outside the city, witnesses had reported erratic flight behaviour. A significant incident of this nature has warranted an investigation into the cause of this incident, and there will no doubt be much scrutiny from the aviation community and the public while details await confirmation.

Expert Insight: Engine Failure or Human Error

Captain Rajveer Singh, a highly experienced commercial pilot, commenting on the situation, said in an exclusive interview that this was a very unfortunate situation. Having spent more than 18 years in the aviation industry, he proposed that one of the probable scenarios would be an engine failure – an incident that is extremely dangerous during takeoff with limited corrective action possible.

Nonetheless, mechanical errors do not necessarily result in accidents, Captain Singh pointed out. He stressed that it could also have been attributed to human elements like wrong judgment, slow reaction time, or misunderstandings between the pilots. The Boeing 787 is known worldwide as the airplane with the most up-to-date design, over-and-above safety features, and forward-looking flight controls. This makes the accident particularly unusual and highlights the need for a comprehensive analysis that takes into account weather conditions, crew actions, and systems performance.

DGCA’s Investigation and Broader Aviation Implications

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has launched a thorough investigation, examining the black box, the maintenance record of the aircraft, and ATC (Air Traffic Control) communication records. Air India has come out publicly to regret and cooperate fully with the investigation.

The event has put back into the limelight the quality of pilot training, emergency procedures, and technical maintenance. Operational excellence is vital to averting such a disaster in busy aviation hubs such as Ahmedabad.

With the investigation ongoing, the stakeholders should aim at winning back the confidence of passengers by embracing transparency, intensive training, and constant safety and monitoring system upgrades.
