On June 12, on the basis of a preliminary inquiry report of Air India flight AI 171 Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, crashed in Ahmedabad, the picture put in front of the Wall Street Journal not only highlights technical failure but also makes the negligence of boiling and global aviation regulators and the deep silence present in the system. The flight left for London from Ahmedabad. Three minutes after the takeoff, the aircraft collided with a medical hostel building on the outskirts of the city. A total of 270 people, including 241 passengers and crew, died in the accident, while only one passenger miraculously survived. The report states that the fly-by-wire software of the aircraft sent the control system to the control system only three minutes after the takeoff. Due to this, the elevator trim in the back of the aircraft suddenly sent the aircraft to bend down. This situation proved to be extremely fatal, technically called locked in downwards command. The pilots tried to take manual control, but until then the software continued to push down the aircraft and fell from 10,000 feet to 700 feet within just 40 seconds.
According to the report, Boeing was already aware of this possible software error. In 2024, a Test pilot warned of a similar ‘irregular trim command During Step Clim’ after which a software patches were released, but the update was not implemented in AI 171. Despite this, the aircraft was assigned to Air India in 2023. The irregular trim command During Step Climb ‘means that when the aircraft is rapidly climbing at a height, its automatic trim system that usually adjusts the elevator (previous wings) to maintain the balance.
An engineer from Boeing, whose identity was kept confidential in the report, told the Wall Street Journal that he had warned of potential failure in the rear stabilizer control circuit in March 2025 itself. His clear statement was that if this update was ignored, the system could someday be out of the control of the pilot and the same happened. The report said that the Boeing management did not take these warnings seriously.
