New Delhi. The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) has sent a legal notice to the foreign media The Wall Street Journal and Reuters. The FIP has taken this step after the report that these two media houses recently released the Air India aircraft accident. The FPI has said that The Wall Street Journal and Reuters should immediately apologize for incorrect reporting related to Air India aircraft. CS Randhawa, president of the Indian Pilot Federation, said that the preliminary inquiry report of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau of Investigation (AAIB) has not mentioned the pilot’s mistake, yet the foreign media is blaming the pilot.
Randhawa said that the FIP has also asked The Wall Street Journal and Reuters to issue clarifications for their misleading and wrong reports. In fact, investigation into the Air India aircraft accident in Ahmedabad is still going on. Recently, the initial investigation report of AAIB has come out in which it is feared that both the engines of the aircraft were probably an accident due to the closure of the fuel switch. The report also revealed some confusion about the closure of the fuel switch between the two pilots. It said that one pilot asked the other if you closed the fuel switch, he replied, I did not stop.
Now the Wall Street General, on the basis of this preliminary report, quoted the sources close to the US officials, in which he said that the captain of the Air India aircraft had closed the fuel switch. Later, Reuters also published such a report. Following this report, the US National Transport Safety Board i.e. NTSB chief Jennifer Homendi has rejected these reports. He said that the recent media reports about the Air India aircraft accident are only based on speculation, such investigation takes time.
