Thirteen seconds before Air Traffic Control received the “MAYDAY” call from the Ahmedabad-London AI171 Dreamliner on the day of the crash, June 12, a preliminary probe by the Civil Aviation Ministry revealed that the fuel control switches were being transitioned back from “CUTOFF” (fuel stopped) to “RUN” (fuel flowing). Within seconds of takeoff, both engine fuel control switches were moved from “RUN” to “CUTOFF,” one after the other, with only a one-second gap. This prompted one pilot to ask, “Why did you cut off the fuel?” — to which the other replied, “I did not do so.” The cockpit recording revealed the conversation between the two pilots following the unusual action. The fuel control switches are not designed to be moved accidentally, drawing attention to their role in the accident.
