Air India Turbulence: Hydraulic system failed thrice during Phuket-Delhi flight

  Air India Flight: A major revelation has been made about the turbulence and accident of Air India's flight from Phuket to Delhi on August 4.

It has been reported that there were several serious technical faults in that flight. According to sources, the hydraulic system of the plane failed thrice during the journey and its autopilot mode was also suddenly disconnected. Immediately after this dangerous situation, the co-pilot, showing wisdom, took control of the plane manually.

During this time, several indicator switches of the plane were also turned off for some time. Due to this serious technical fault in the air, the plane suffered severe jolts, after which the plane suddenly fell about 300 feet downward. However, later the pilots re-balanced the plane and it was safely landed in the capital Delhi.

France's air accident investigation agency BEA and aircraft manufacturer Airbus will send their teams to India to help the AAIB investigate the turbulence of an Air India flight from Phuket to Delhi.

17 passengers were injured in the accident last week. Sources said that the teams will reach the national capital Delhi on Tuesday.

According to information, on August 4, the Phuket-Delhi flight AI2379 operated by an Airbus A320 (VT-EXO) suddenly fell about 300 feet during its journey, after which the plane was rebalanced and landed safely in the capital. The incident is being investigated by the Air Accidents Investigation Bureau (AAIB) under the rules of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
