Overview

• Preliminary AAIB findings reveal both engine fuel-supply switches were moved to cutoff seconds after liftoff, causing immediate loss of thrust.
• Cockpit voice recordings capture one pilot questioning why fuel was cut and the other denying responsibility.
• Investigators have ruled out design flaws or mechanical failures in the 787-8 Dreamliner and its GE GEnx engines.
• No safety bulletins or directives have been issued for the Dreamliner fleet by FAA, Boeing, or GE following the preliminary report.
• The ongoing probe involves Indian and U.S. experts collaborating on data analysis and is expected to conclude with a final report within a year.
