Major update issued for Air India flight horror in chilling Airbus report

Airbus analysis of flight data has found that three aircraft systems used to control the plane lost pressure at the same time during the incident involving Air India, according to investigators. The update says the controls resumed response when pressure returned, allowing pilots to stabilize the aircraft. Investigators are still working to determine why all three systems lost pressure simultaneously—whether there was a genuine mechanical problem or whether faulty sensors, wiring or electrical issues triggered incorrect cockpit warnings. The sudden maneuver produced a brief sensation of weightlessness in the cabin, and passengers and crew who were not wearing seat belts were thrown against the ceiling. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is leading the investigation with assistance from Airbus and France’s aviation safety authorities. Both pilots have been removed from flying duties while the probe continues, and Air India has ordered drug screening for all pilots.
