The Story in Brief
An Air India flight from Phuket to Delhi lost all flight controls for four seconds, NDTV reports exclusively. The autopilot disconnected mid-air, and the co-pilot, who was flying the aircraft, pushed his control stick forward after the plane’s systems generated stall warnings. The incident occurred on a recent flight; no injuries or damage were reported. Air India and the aviation regulator have not yet commented.
The Indian Opinion
Some may rush to blame the pilot or airline, but without the full investigation such claims are unfounded. Aviation incidents often have multiple causes. The real test will be the transparency of the official inquiry by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. Did the autopilot malfunction, or was the stall warning a false alarm? The final report must answer that.
