DGCA rules out glitch in Air India Dreamliner, calls for pilot training on fuel switch use
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has concluded there was no glitch in the grounded Boeing Dreamliner, and asked Air India to train its pilots on the procedures to use the fuel control switches in the wide-bodied aircraft.
In its statement released on Tuesday, the regulator said the fuel switch issue reported on Air India Boeing 787-8 was not due to a mechanical fault, but due to incorrect handling. It has not directly blamed pilots or the crew in the report.
