Final conversation between Air India pilots before fatal plane crash revealed

All but one of the 230 people on board the aircraft died in the crash.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed last month, claiming the lives of all but one of the 230 people on board.

A report into the tragedy has revealed that one of the pilots denied switching the engines to cut off right before the plane crashed.

It also revealed that both engines of the Gatwick-bound plane lost fuel supply moments after the aircraft lifted off the ground.

A fault had been attended to by Air India engineers before the flight was scheduled to takeoff, the report found.

The pilots from the previous flight had spotted an error with the stabiliser sensor, which indicates the horizontal trim setting.

According to the report, the airliner had reached a maximum airspeed of 180 knots when the fuel supply to both engines was cut off within a second of each other.

Cutoff switches are usually only used in emergencies in the air, such as an engine fire.

Voice recordings from the cockpit reveal that one of the pilots asked his colleague why he had cutoff the engines, to which they responded they hadn’t.

Within a minute of the engines switching to cutoff, the crew responded and put them back into ‘run’ mode in an attempt to restart them.

Less than ten seconds later a mayday call was made from the plane.
