New Delhi, July 14, 2025 (ANI): Aviation expert underlined multiple cracks in AAIB’s report, as he pointed out ‘no signature’ in the report and raised questioned over ‘no pilot in the investigation team’. At the same time, he also commended the agency for making the preliminary report public.
00:00In these investigations, there are the Annex 13 of the International Civil Aviation
00:07Organization's charter has to be implemented. They have to be teams, they have to be experts.
00:13So they have a contention that no pilot was in the team. In fact, there should be a pilot
00:19and a pilot who is conversant with Boeing 787 aircraft. I think they have a point to make.
00:27I think they should include a pilot in the investigation.
00:34The third thing, they said that there is no signature.
00:37So the thing is right, there should be a signature.
00:39It should be released by the signature.
00:42So the signature should be added. Otherwise, the authenticity is less than that.
00:47The preliminary report can differ from the final report.
00:53The final report and the preliminary report is one of its findings.
00:56The final report is with the national emblem from the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
01:05They say it is not signed. That is correct. They are making a right point.
01:09They should have been signed. But I don't think the report is okay.
01:15The other is that, you know, in these investigations, there are the Annex 13 of the International Civil Aviation Organization's charter has to be implemented.
01:27They have to be teams. They have to be experts. So they have a contention that no pilot was in the team.
01:34In fact, there should be a pilot and a pilot who is conversant with Boeing 787 aircraft should be there.
01:44If they can't find a pilot with that experience, they should have had a 737 at least or some other.
01:51But there was none. So that they have pointed out. I think they have a point to make. I think they should include a pilot in the investigation.
02:03Sir, the airline pilot station of India also says that there is a lack of transparency and investigation continues to be shrouded in secrecy and remaining credibility and public trust. There is a question of transparency.
02:17No, I don't think there is a lack of transparency in this because everybody is there. But as they have said, no, even the preliminary report could be signed.
02:29So everybody signs. There are representatives of everybody there. So what they are saying is that they are likely to put pilot error as the cause.
02:41And since unfortunately both the pilots are dead, that's the easiest way of, you know, but I don't take that thing as a thing.
02:48I think the report will have to take into account everything, including the Boeing Directive of December 2018, which talks about the switches.
02:59And so it's and they have not come out. At least I have not seen on the digital recorders yet what all it has said.
03:08The digital recorders will determine many more things about the switches. When was it switched off and all that.
03:14Sir, the airline pilot station of India has reached three points. First, the report suggests it could be biased towards spiral terror.
03:23Second, how the report can be leaked to media itself secrecy has to be maintained.
03:30The third portion is about the qualified experience assessment, especially line pilots are still not being included in the investigation team.
03:38How you see the all of three points has been raised by the association?
03:42No, see that one point is that there is a bias. Now, I can't, I mean, that is their opinion. I have no reason to see there was a bias.
03:49What is the other thing? How the report can be leaked to media?
03:57No, I don't think it's been leaked. It has been given to the media. They had said they will give.
04:01Preliminary reports are not always given to the media, but they have decided to give it to the media.
04:08So, it has been given to media in other some cases. So, I think that side is a decision of the team and of the preliminary investigation team.
04:21So, to that extent, it's good they have released it to the media.
04:26Sir, the association clearly said that we categorically reject this presumption or insist on a fair fact-based inquiry.
04:36No, but that's a presumption they are saying that fair fact-based inquiry, but it all depends on, you know, they have made a point that there was no pilot or senior pilot or pilot conversant with the 787, the Dreamliner.
04:51And I think that's a fair point they have raised. The rest are all their opinions. So, I can't, you know, either say yes or no to their opinion. Their opinion is their opinion.
05:00Sir, you are the one of the senior most civilisation experts in our country. How you see this report? Is it a trustworthy report? Does this report or we have to wait for the final report?
05:10Of course, you have to wait for the final report. We have to wait for the final report. This is just a preliminary report which is required to be given within 30 days.
05:19Whether it should be made public or not made public is a discretion of the government and it has been released in some cases. It has not been released in many cases in worldwide.
05:31So, I think to that extent, releasing of a report is not something which has gone wrong and the report, the final report may not be the same as the preliminary report on the same ground.
05:46There can be new things coming up. There can be a change in the report. So, let us not say that this report is leading to something not necessary.
05:56Yes, and the pilot not being on the teams, I agree with their contention.
06:05We have got a report.
06:06Please report.
06:07Just, look at all the reports, I said, airline pilot administration of India.
06:11They just said, airline pilot administration of India, they will have asked questions,
06:13which there will be four questions just first.
06:14He said, how this direction is taking place, the idea of the investigation for the pilot.
06:19They will address the contact and the information.
06:22They will reject these dortes and the information.
06:25What about the information is also there, the reports are taken place and the information.
06:30How do you think the team has a qualified experience pilot?
06:40This is the last few questions.
06:44There is a pilot, a experience pilot,
06:48which is seven, eight, seven,
06:49which is Dream Diner,
06:51which was released,
06:53which was released,
06:55which was released,
06:57which was released.
07:02In other countries,
07:04there is no directives.
07:06There is no directives.
07:10There is no directives.
07:12There is no directives.
07:14The public release is released.
07:17This is a description.
07:19There is no directives.
07:21The other thing is said that there is no signature.
07:23The fact is that it is not a signature.
07:25The other thing is,
07:26the signature is not a signature.
07:28The signature is not a signature.
07:30The signature is not a signature.
07:32It is not a signature.
07:34The signature is not a signature.
07:36You can see all the signature.
07:38But in the bottom,
07:39there is no directives of this report.
07:41If people sign a sign for it,
07:44it is a great way.
07:46It has been a difference.
07:48The initial report has been made.
07:51and allegations.
07:54Senior aviation expert are in our country.
07:57What are you seeing?
07:58The preliminary report can differ from the final report.
08:04The preliminary report is given by its findings.
08:08It is given to 30 days.
08:10This is the annex 13, which has been given by accident investigation.
08:14The international civil aviation organization has been written by the international civil aviation organization.
08:21The rule is joined by India.
08:23India is the member of India.
08:25The country is the member of India.
08:27India has the member of India.
08:28They have the organization.
08:30The other people have been released.
08:32The final report is released.
08:36The first thing that they have been released is the first 30 days.
08:39The final report is released.
08:41The pilot association of India has rejected this report and has an error.
08:57The pilot association of India has no choice.
09:17The pilot association of India has no choice.
09:23The pilot association of India has no choice.
09:27The pilot is a pilot.
09:39The pilot organization has no choice.
09:46I think there are different channels, engineers, all of them have to go to a location and check
09:52and see.
09:53So if there is no pilot, then I'm saying that.
09:58Trustworthy and opinion.
10:01I think it's trustworthy or opinion.
10:03I don't think it's trustworthy.
10:06I can't believe anything.
10:09But it's been a print report.
10:12And there is a basic thing that goes on the switch.
10:17So this is now.
10:19And the preliminary report and the final report has no difference.
