Aviation expert Harsh Vardhan warns that the Airbus A320 software issue poses a serious safety risk, urging immediate inspections amid a global grounding of over 6,000 aircraft. Triggered by a JetBlue incident involving sudden mid-air descent linked to ELAC system faults and solar radiation effects, Indian carriers like IndiGo and Air India are racing to update 350+ planes. Watch.
00:00Well, it is a very serious glitch and I am glad it was detected in time because it could have resulted into serious catastrophe.
00:11These are problems which are noticed by operators in flight.
00:17So, until you do not notice them, in that case, the aircraft is behaving well.
00:24The right course of action is that once you notice it, then you take it seriously, ground the aircraft.
00:30Well, it is a very serious glitch and I am glad it was detected in time because it could have resulted into serious catastrophe
00:41because the elevator and electron control system, which is showing the problem because of this glitch,
00:50controls the levelling of the aircraft, you know, the altitude, the maintenance is done by this control mechanism.
00:59And suddenly, if it becomes uncontrolled, it can, you know, it starts moving to the nosedive situation
01:08and pilot sometimes does not have a control on it. Luckily, the incidents that were noticed, the situation rectified itself,
01:17otherwise, anything could have happened. And then, since there have been more than one instances,
01:23the immediate inspection was needed and then they realized that it is a fleet program, not an individual aircraft issue.
01:31So, grounding is important and it is the right decision and it should be done as fast as possible because,
01:38apparently, they upgraded the software which is causing this problem. So, they are reverting to the original software.
01:47So, I think this issue will be fixed soon, but it would still be monitored because this problem has just resurfaced
02:00and we need to watch how after the modification their craft continues to be, if there is any repetition of this nature.
02:09So, how are they looking at how they should be more aware about it?
02:18Look, these are problems which are noticed by operators in flight. So, until you do not notice them,
02:28in that case, the aircraft is behaving well. So, this is where the fleet monitoring is done.
02:36It is not something which you can anticipate. The machine has a behavior of its own.
02:41So, I think the right course of action is that once you notice it, then you take it seriously,
02:48ground the aircraft and bring the necessary repairs.
02:51Even this is in fact, in fact, what is happening? So, how can you explain it?
02:58Well, I think when you have this kind of problem, it is a fleet problem.
03:04And, you know, in today's context, Airbus nearly commands over 50% of the world fleet.
03:10And the A320 is one of the most successful airlines which is in operation.
03:17So, this is going to affect every operator, but I always believe that safety is more important than the frequency or inconvenience,
03:26because life cannot be risked at any situation. So, I think people have to understand that this is for their own good.
03:36You know, there may be disruption, they may perhaps miss a meeting or so,
03:41sometimes important appointment. It is better to live for other appointments rather than take chances on safety.
03:48So, issued an emergency, our directive statement of this Airbus and DBC also. So, how government should work on this matter?
03:58Once the service bulletins are issued, every agency, every country's agency, the regulatory agency which initially issued the service bulletin,
04:09they have to comply with the mandate. And the operators and the national air safety boards have no option but to ground the aircraft and bring necessary repairs.
04:21So, every day number of aircraft, every day, every day number of aircraft is covered by flight.
04:25So, this kind of incidents are coming very often. What is the reason behind that? What is the reason behind that?
04:34You know, this is one of the freak instances. It is not something which is happening every day.
04:44But you have to also realize that today the number of aircraft flying in the world is also huge.
04:51And when you are flying so many aircraft in the world today, some of the other problem will occur in some aircraft or the other anywhere in the world.
05:02So, I think we need to monitor them and despite all that, air travel continues to be the safest mode of public transport.
05:12And this industry is very vigilant about any defect, any problems which occur on the machine or the people behind the machine.
05:24So, I think the safety mechanism is very tight here. And there is no doubt that any instance of this nature needs to be thoroughly investigated and corrected.
05:35So, we have just made it more difficult.
05:37So, we do not know that we were able to do doing a lot of helicopters on the machine.
05:39So, we're going to reach out to them and we are going to use them.
05:40So, we do not know that we can avoid the use of the reconnaissance in the world.
05:42So, we have to enjoy the use of them to distract them from the environment.
05:44We're going to have to be in enigma.
05:45So, be able to enjoy the energy, hopefully, and to change the다른 by the country.
05:47So, we should have to be connected.
05:48So, hopefully, that is our technology needs to be connected.
05:50So, please give us that stress, please take some time you to learn as well.
05:51So, please read your hand as well.
05:52So, on the way I believe that you should figure out the entry.
