I have a MS is Systems Engineering and work in the aerospace field. Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is part of my bread and butter.

They would have do a complete bottom up FMEA to identify and eliminate catastrophic failures. That doesn’t mean a mistake wasn’t made. The most common mistake is that the MTBF of a component was much lower than predicted.

With a dual engine failure, there would have to be a common root cause. From what I know, the most likely root causes are the fuel, or improper maintenance. That’s where i think we’re 90% to find the cause. Of course, it’s early, so as data emerges, we may learn something that changes that.

There would have been a takeoff warning if that had been the case. Ocelot II Jun 13 #3

Yup. If flaps weren't within the takeoff range it would have been real noisy in the flight deck when they advanced the mn9driver Jun 13 #9

Air India has a troubled history. Of course, these days, so does Boeing ! Doctoris Extincti Jun 13 #8

The 787 has one of the best safety records in the history of aviation. Happy Hoosier Jun 13 #10

It has a history of many minor incidents and malfunctions, though. These can add up. Ocelot II Jun 13 #13

Yes, of course.... Happy Hoosier Jun 13 #15

Unless he brought the flaps up instead of the landing gear. Angleae Jun 13 #14

Unless you have a dual engine failure, V1 or not, taking to the air is not going to happen for long after that EX500rider Jun 13 #17
