Air India has completed precautionary inspections of the locking mechanism of the fuel control switch (FCS) in all of its Boeing 787-8 aircraft and found no issues, officials of the Tata-owned airline said. These checks were conducted after the civil aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), on Monday issued a directive to inspect the FCS of specific Boeing aircraft models by July 21.
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AIIB) report into the crash of a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner in Ahmedabad had said the fuel cutoff switches for both engines were moved to the cutoff position, one after another, within a 1-second interval, at an altitude just moments after liftoff.
"All our Boeing 787-8 aircraft have undergone throttle control module (TCM) replacement as per the Boeing maintenance schedule. The FCS is part of this module," an Air India official said.
