Overview

• DGCA directed Air India to reinspect Ram Air Turbine stowage on Boeing 787s where the Power Conditioning Module was replaced and to review related D‑check work for discrepancies.
• The regulator asked Boeing for a comprehensive brief on similar uncommanded RAT deployments worldwide and preventive measures, including data tied to PCM changes.
• Air India flight AI154 from Vienna to Delhi diverted to Dubai on October 9 for a technical issue, underwent checks, and later continued to Delhi, the airline said.
• The pilots’ body FIP claims AI154 suffered autopilot disconnection and degradation across multiple systems and is urging grounding of all Air India 787s and a special DGCA audit; Air India denies any electrical failure.
• Investigations are ongoing, with a senior DGCA official saying AI154’s cockpit voice and flight data recorders will be downloaded and examined, and the October 4 AI117 uncommanded RAT deployment remains under probe after the aircraft was checked and returned to service.
