The FIP stated its dissatisfaction with the exclusion of pilot representatives from the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB)’s investigation process. The pilots’ body objects to how the preliminary report has been interpreted and presented publicly. The FIP claims that the preliminary report lacks comprehensive data and appears to rely selectively on paraphrased cockpit voice recordings, potentially suggesting pilot error and questioning the crew’s professional competence. The federation has urged stakeholders, including the media, to refrain from disseminating partial narratives or making unfounded assumptions, emphasizing the need for a fair, transparent, and evidence-based investigation. The AAIB’s preliminary report indicates that both engines were moved to ‘cutoff,’ cutting off the fuel supply, with one pilot allegedly denying the action in cockpit recordings. The AI 171 crash resulted in the tragic loss of 260 lives.
