FIP Calls for Thorough Examination of Technical Records in Air India Crash Probe

The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) has urged the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) to conduct a thorough examination of technical records related to the Air India AI-171 Boeing 787 crash. In a letter, FIP President Capt. CS Randhawa stressed that all available technical information should be examined to strengthen aviation safety.

The pilots' body referred to multiple letters and technical notes it had previously submitted regarding reported electrical system concerns on Boeing 787 aircraft and possible links to the June 2025 accident involving aircraft VT-ANB.

The FIP called for a detailed review of historical maintenance and reliability data, including technical log entries, deferred defects, repetitive fault reports, troubleshooting records, component replacements, reliability monitoring data, and engineering corrective actions carried out throughout the aircraft's service life.
