Air India 787 Crashes

Guess anything is possible but most modern airports have underground fuel lines that are fed from a larger fuel depot. It would be difficult to push bad fuel to one specific plane. There would have been a bunch of failures.

 

Fwiw this article in wiki has added this flight to the list of incidents using the RAT.

An airline pilot speculates that the crash may have been due to the co-pilot grabbing the wrong handle and raising flaps instead of raising the landing gear.

Co-pilot error suspected in new Air India crash theory

 

My brother is a commercial pilot and he said all flight recorders don’t have a backup power source so if that was a cause in this crash it’s not a guarantee the recorders would be recording the whole time. He doesn’t know about the 787 but this happened in the recent South Korea 737 crash.

 

An identical 787 for American Airlines had to abort four flights with emergency landings because of a problem with the flaps.

Boeing 787 identical to crash jet made four emergency landings in a month

 

This guy suggests pilot error.

 

My brother doesn’t buy it and says the guy in the video is ignoring other evidence. He also cited the the first comment the video from a former 787 pilot:

“Hi I’m an ex 787 captain, in this phase of flight due to the flight envelope protection and auto gap protection, the system doesn’t allow you to retract flaps even accidentally .”​
