DGCA advises Air India to educate crew on procedures, after fuel switch concern
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday advised Air India to reinforce crew training on the correct operating procedures for fuel control switches after an inspection found no mechanical fault but flagged the risk of unintended movement if handled improperly.
“Air India B787-8 aircraft VT-ANX operated flight Al 132(London-Bangalore). During engine start in London, on two occasions crew observed that the fuel control switch did not remain positively latched in the “RUN” position when light vertical pressure was applied.
