AI crash report: International pilots body warns against guesswork | India News
NeEW DELHI: Amid Indian pilot bodies’ criticism of Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau’s preliminary report on the AI-171 crash, International Federation of Air Line Pilots’ Associations (IFALPA) has warned against insinuation to reach a “hasty conclusion”.“The report raises many questions; it does not provide answers. Any extrapolation of its content can only be regarded as guesswork, which is not helpful to the good conduct of the investigation. IFALPA also notes that the report clearly states that no safety recommendations are being provided at this stage,” IFALPA said.“The victims, including the families of the crew and passengers of Air India 171, deserve our collective professionalism while the full investigation is conducted,” added IFALPA, representing over 148,000 pilots across the world.Some details of the preliminary report were known to a section of the western media 44 hours before the same was made public, raising questions about its confidentiality.
