Ahmedabad The Air India flight accident going from London has once again raised serious questions about aircraft safety. Modern aircraft such as Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner indicates that even a small lapse during any flight can cause a major crisis.
At the time of flight take-off or landing, if a part of the aircraft has a technical fault, such as a fault in the engine, hydraulic failure or braking system, the possibility of an accident increases greatly. In today’s Air India accident, preliminary investigation revealed that the back of the aircraft collided with a tree just after the take-off, which deteriorated the balance and fell on the hostel building.
Many times, small negligence from the pilot or wrong instructions from the control room can also be the cause of the accident. For example, to take-off from the wrong angle, do not be able to control speed on the runway or ignore the weather warning.
If the airline does not follow the maintenance protocol or conducts technical checks on time, it can cause serious accidents. In this case of Air India, DGCA had already warned about the status of old aircraft several times.
A big lesson from today’s accident of Air India is that there is no scope for negligence at any level in aircraft safety. Whether it is a technical team, pilot or airline management – everyone will have to fulfill their responsibility with full honesty, otherwise the results can be fatal.
