So, when our planes take off out of Indian airports, what guarantee do we have that our fuel isn’t contaminated? |

what reason do you have to believe the fuel was contaminated on this flight?
I agree that nothing is true until the CVR/FDR is made public, but it appears that the Indian AAIB is already pointing fingers at fuel contamination. I use AVHerald as a pretty good source for truth in Aviation accident reporting (minus the comment section) |

2 ways to deploy the RAT. Use the switch, or loss of thrust on both engines. Similar to the 777.
A Ram Air Turbine (RAT) serves as an emergency source of electrical and hydraulic power. It has no operating time limits, airspeeds, or altitudes. In flight, the RAT deploys automatically if any of the following occur: • both engines have failed • all three hydraulic system pressures are low • loss of all electrical power to captain’s and first officer’s flight instruments • loss of all four EMPs and faults in the flight control system occur on approach • loss of all four EMPs and an engine fails on takeoff or landing The RAT can be deployed manually if necessary by pushing the RAM AIR TURBINE switch on the hydraulic panel. On the B777 it is this by comparison: In flight, the RAT deploys automatically if: • both engines are failed and center system pressure is low, or • both AC transfer busses are unpowered, or • all three hydraulic system pressures are low The RAT can be deployed manually by pushing the RAM AIR TURBINE switch. The hot battery or APU battery bus must be powered. The center hydraulic system does not need to be powered. The RAT is deployed by a compressed spring. Once deployed, the RAT cannot be stowed in flight. |
Many of you probably have read something circulating the internets apparently from “someone in the know” from the AAIB.
Basic theory is electrical interruption during rotation. I read a couple of things that I’m not sure I understand…….certainly don’t agree with at the very least. Including that • Torrential rain during pushback. • Moisture intrusion into PRB-A connector. must have been a very quick passing front……as the video from the takeoff surely doesn’t suggest heavy rainfall….but it is the monsoon season Look it, maybe we can lean on someone with connections to India but most of my Indian born friends and neighbors (non pilots) tell me that Government agencies aren’t known for their investigative integrity or transparency. and anyway why is this on United’s thread? |
