And we still have no updates on that 787 crash in India...

I suspect that is deep into the backgrounds of the pilots trying to figure out which one turned off the fuel.

————————
The 787 has a mode when an engine cuts out it will automatically initiate restart procedures UNCOMANDED.

The Pilots emergency procedures checklist covers that. If an engine flames out, etc the crew is to manually cycle the cut off switch on the pedestal from on to off. If not done, the “ smart” aircraft will do it automatically, without physically cycling the cut off switches.

Air India’s CVR proves neither pilot physically cycled the cut off switches- it was done automatically at the worst time- in Take off configuration.

Boeing has a huge problem.
