New lab, old problem: India's new Rs 9 crore black box lab fails first big test, as govt plans to send Air India crashed plane black box to US
PTI Remains of the crashed Air India plane lie on a building, in Ahmedabad. Just two months after inaugurating a state-of-the-art laboratory for analysing aircraft black boxes, the Indian government has decided to send the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder from the recent Air India crash to the United States for decoding. The move highlights limitations in India's newly launched facility, which was expected to handle such critical investigations. The black box, retrieved from the crashed Air India Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, has been sent to the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau's (AAIB) Digital Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder (DFDR & CVR) Laboratory in New Delhi. In April, Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu inaugurated the DFDR & CVR Laboratory at the AAIB headquarters in New Delhi. Built with an investment of Rs 9 crore and technical support from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), the facility was designed to recover flight data and conduct detailed crash aimed to meet international standards and enable India to independently analyse black boxes without sending them abroad. The lab is expected to reduce dependency on foreign agencies and improve the speed of investigations. The new lab is in the process of decoding the data from black boxes.. Officials said, 'AAIB experts attempted to retrieve the data but found that the extent of damage to the recorders necessitates more sophisticated equipment.' The recorders may be sent to the US-based National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for data recovery. A team from the NTSB will handle the transport under Indian supervision to ensure proper chain of custody, if a decision is taken to send them to US. The United Kingdom's Air Accidents Investigation Branch will also be involved in the investigation, as 53 British citizens were among the passengers killed. Experts handling the recovery process will attempt to extract the memory board chip and inspect the damaged circuitry. This is a delicate operation, and any mistake could result in permanent data loss. Black boxes, which include the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), are essential tools for accident investigation. The FDR logs flight details such as altitude, speed, and engine data, while the CVR captures cockpit audio and commercial aircraft like the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, these devices are located in the tail section to increase chances of survival during crashes. They are built to withstand high-impact crashes and extreme fast-growing aviation sector relies heavily on timely and thorough investigations to improve safety standards. The inability of the newly opened AAIB lab to handle this case has raised questions about its readiness to deal with complex crash scenarios.

Air India plane crash: Black box to be sent to United States for data extraction
AHMEDABAD, (India): A week after the deadly AI171 plane crash in Ahmedabad, India will send the black box of the Air India Boeing 787 aircraft to the United States for data recovery, as per sources. They added that the crucial evidence in the investigation of the crash has suffered damage due to high temperatures following the plane crash, which is making data extraction unfeasible. Notably, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the US federal air crash investigation team, which is already assisting their Indian counterparts in the investigation, will also help in extracting the data at its Washington, DC, office. An Indian delegation will also accompany the black box to oversee the entire investigation process and ensure all protocols are followed. A black box is basically a 'recorder' planted inside the flight for the purpose of facilitating the investigation of aviation accidents and incidents. The electronic device, a bright orange-coloured box that is recovered after a plane accident, offers crucial information about the last moments before the mishap. It is primarily made of titanium and enclosed in a titanium box that can survive a severe crash involving fire. Inside the box are two separate devices: the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), which means it not only offers the data of the technical functioning of the aircraft during the flight, it also registers the conversations that may have taken place between pilot and co-pilots, and their communication with the ATC. Notably, a high level committee under the chairmanship of Union Home Secretary has been formed by the government which includes the Secretary, Ministry of Civil Aviation; Senior Officials from Home Ministry; Officials of Home Department and State Disaster Response Authority of Gujarat, the Police Commissioner of Ahmedabad, the Director General of Inspection and Safety in the Indian Air Force and the Director General of Bureau of Civil Aviation Security. The committee will submit its report within three months. The Committee is expected to focus on formulating Standard Operating Procedures for preventing such occurrences in the future. A separate investigation is also being carried out by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), which is looking into the technical aspects of the crash. - The Statesman/ANN

Air India crash: One week on, debris remains at site; investigation continues
The wreckage of Air India plane that crashed into a medical hostel complex in Ahmedabad (Image credit: AP) NEW DELHI: It has been a week since the tragic Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad that claimed 274 lives. On Thursday, officials said that debris, including the aircraft's damaged tail fin, still remains at the crash site as investigators continue to search for clues to determine the exact cause of the accident. The debris, including the tail fin, is still lying at the site. There are no orders yet to move the rubble elsewhere,' Ahmedabad's additional chief fire officer, Jayesh Khadia said. Inspector DB Basiya of Meghaninagar police station confirmed that the AAIB will decide the fate of the plane wreckage. 'The police's role is limited to securing the area. AAIB will determine what to do with the remains, which may later be moved to another location for further examination,' he said. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), under the Ministry of Civil Aviation, is leading an investigation to understand the cause of one of the worst air disasters in recent times. AAIB officials have been making regular visits to the crash site as part of the ongoing probe. Local fire personnel are assisting forensic and aviation experts with site operations. On June 12, the London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, carrying 242 people, crashed into a hostel building of BJ Medical College in Meghaninagar just minutes after taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport at 1.39 pm. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo After the crash, the aircraft's tail fin got stuck at the top of the damaged building and was brought down using cranes on June 14, two days after the incident. Days after the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) was recovered, investigators also located the Cockpit Voice Recorder on June 16. Officials said this crucial discovery could help in understanding the cause of the crash. Officials confirmed the recovery of black boxes to PK Mishra, Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi , who inspected the site on Sunday. While the AAIB has launched a detailed investigation, the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is conducting a parallel probe under international protocols, as the crashed aircraft was American-made, according to an official release.

Update on Air India jet black boxes as recorders could be sent to US for analysis after being hauled from 1,000C inferno
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE black box recovered from the doomed Air India flight could be sent to the US for analysis after being rescued from a blazing 1,000 degree inferno. The critical recording device - which could reveal key details of the flight's final moments - sustained significant damage during the horror smash in Ahmedabad.

A team of Indian investigators is expected to accompany the device to ensure all protocols are followed during the advanced data extraction. Investigators warned on Tuesday that the recovered black boxes may have melted due to the intense heat of the raging explosion. When jet fuel is combusted inside a plane's engine, the resulting heat can reach immense temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner en route to London Gatwick crashed less than a minute after take-off into a doctors' hostel, killing 241 passengers and crew and more on the ground. The major black box update comes as an Air India boss revealed a bombshell update on the deadly crash - as he detailed how the Boeing aircraft had "recently been serviced". N Chandrasekaran said that the doomed jet had a "clean history" and two recently serviced engines - after experts latched onto a "gamechanging" video which could explain the disaster. He also hit back at 'speculation' on what caused the London-bound flight to crash, and added that a probe into the exact cause of the crash could take a month. Planes usually carry two black boxes, which are small but tough electronic flight data recorders. One records flight data, such as altitude and speed, whilst the other monitors the cockpit sound. Moment miracle Brit survivor of Air India disaster heads BACK to burning wreck to save brother saying 'I have to save him' The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and Flight Data Recorder (FDR), were recovered 28 hours after the horror crash. Despite the name, these devices are painted bright orange for visibility amid debris. Investigators believe the CVR on this 2014-delivered aircraft likely stored only two hours of cockpit audio. The jet predates a 2021 rule which enforced 25-hour recordings on all planes. But the FDR is capable of logging thousands of flight parameters for over 25 hours, including altitude, airspeed, and control inputs. The aircraft had climbed less than 600 feet before its ascent stalled, according to the Ministry of Civil Aviation. A distress signal was sent but was met with complete radio silence. Moments later, the plane crashed into the BJ Medical College hostel complex near the airport's northeastern boundary. 7 Jet fuel burns at over 1,000 degrees Credit: EPA 7 At least 270 people died in the crash Credit: EPA The damaged black box is now seen as a crucial piece of evidence in understanding what led to India's worst air disaster in nearly three decades. Investigators hope the data from the box will shed light on the aircraft's final moments. It comes after crash investigators speculated that an emergency power system kicked in just before the plane went down - raising questions about whether the engines were working properly. Analysts agreed that a small turbine generator deployed as the Boeing 787 flew towards the doctors' hostel. HD footage showed a "protrusion on the belly of the aircraft" with a "little grey dot" beneath it. Commentators allege this was a system called Ram Air Turbine (RAT) poking out from the fuselage of the plane, which failed to climb more than 600ft. Commercial airline pilot Steve Schreiber, known as Captain Steve, explained: "Many aeroplanes have it. It is just behind the wing on the right side of the aeroplane, there is a little door that holds it in. Leading theories on Air India Flight AI171 THESE are some of the leading theories explaining the tragic Air India disaster which killed at least 270 people. Emergency power system: A small turbine generator was seen deploying as the Boeing 787 went down, experts said. Footage showed a "protrusion on the belly of the aircraft" with a "little grey dot" beneath it. Commentators say this was a system called Ram Air Turbine (RAT) poking out from the fuselage of the plane. Bird Strikes: A bird strike could have taken out both of the jet's giant General Electric engines. While a bird taking down something the size of a commercial airliner might sound fanciful, there are numerous examples. Wing flap position: Aviation experts have suggested the position of the aircraft's wing flaps could have played a role in the disaster. Video evidence suggests the flaps were either fully retracted or on a very minimal setting, which would have provided very little lift. The flaps provide crucial extra lift at low speeds during take-offs and landings. Pilot error: The state-of-the-art Boeing 787-8 is highly automated, with human pilots making only key decisions - but human error cannot be ruled out. Co-pilot Clive Kundar had more than 3,400 hours of flying experience and made the mayday call but Captain Sumeet Sabharwa at the helm had 11,500 hours - making him one of Air India's most experienced pilots. Heat: Planes get less lift on a hot day due to lower air density, and therefore they need to go faster to get as much lift as on a cooler day. This is particularly important when an airliner is heavy with fuel, passengers and baggage, as the Air India flight was. Technical error: Catastrophic technical or engineering issues have not been ruled out. The jet's complex design mean it could take months for a design or engineering fault to be pinpointed. "It looks like a little Evinrude motor, it's a little two bladed prop. "The purpose is to provide electrical and hydraulic pressure for the aircraft on an extreme emergency." Steve explained there are three things which could cause the RAT to deploy on a 787: "A massive electrical failure, a massive hydraulic failure, or a dual engine failure. "But I think the fact the aeroplane is mushing out the sky gives the idea it was a dual engine failure," he said. The tragic smash is the first ever fatal accident involving a Boeing Dreamliner. 52 Brits died on board the flight, but London local Vishwash Kumar Ramesh managed to cheat death when he escaped the blazing inferno following the crash. Theories have swirled over how the sole survivor managed to narrowly escape death when he was sat in seat 11A during the horror smash. 7 Vishwash Ramesh's brother's funeral Credit: Dan Charity
