India’s Aviation Regulator Calls for Inspection of Air India\u2019s Boeing 787 Aircraft<\/strong><\/p>\n India\u2019s aviation authority has instructed Air India to conduct a thorough re-inspection of the emergency power system on its Boeing 787 planes, following the replacement of a crucial module, according to a report by the Press Trust of India.<\/p>\n The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has also requested Boeing to provide a detailed report on measures they are taking to prevent unexpected activations of the Ram Air Turbine (RAT). This information was shared by a senior official from the agency, who chose to remain unnamed.<\/p>\n Attempts to reach Air India and Boeing for comments regarding this matter went unanswered. The RAT serves as a backup safety mechanism in airplanes and is designed to deploy only in emergencies, ensuring that essential systems like flight controls and navigation remain functional.<\/p>\n Recent incidents have drawn significant attention to air safety practices in India, one of the fastest-growing aviation markets. Earlier this month, a RAT was triggered unexpectedly on a flight from Amritsar to Birmingham just before landing. Additionally, on October 9, a flight traveling from Vienna to Delhi had to divert to Dubai due to failures in the autopilot and other critical systems.<\/p>\n In a separate incident, an Air India flight tragically crashed shortly after take-off in Ahmedabad on June 30, resulting in the loss of nearly all 242 passengers on board. The final report on that incident is still pending.<\/p>\n In light of these events, the Federation of Indian Pilots has urged the Ministry of Civil Aviation to carry out a special audit of Air India\u2019s 787 fleet and consider grounding the affected aircraft until safety concerns are fully addressed.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" India’s Aviation Regulator Calls for Inspection of Air India\u2019s Boeing 787 Aircraft India\u2019s aviation authority has instructed Air India to conduct a thorough re-inspection of the emergency power system on its Boeing 787 planes, following the replacement of a crucial module, according to a report by the Press Trust of India.
