India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has instructed Air India<\/strong> to carry out a renewed inspection of the emergency power system on its Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, following the recent replacement of a module, according to a report from the Press Trust of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulator has also demanded that Boeing submit a detailed report on the preventive measures implemented to prevent so-called uncommanded deployments of the Ram Air Turbine (RAT), a critical component activated only in emergencies to keep essential systems like flight controls and navigation operational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background: A Series of Incidents Raise Alarms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The DGCA’s decision comes at a time when aviation safety practices in India are under heightened scrutiny, driven by the sector’s rapid growth and a series of recent concerning events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early October, a flight between Amritsar and Birmingham experienced an unexpected activation of the RAT prior to landing. Days later, on October 9, a flight from Vienna to Delhi had to be diverted to Dubai due to autopilot failures and issues with other systems, according to the same source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Track Record Demanding Answers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These incidents add to the tragedy that occurred on June 30, when an Air India aircraft crashed in Ahmedabad seconds after takeoff, resulting in 241 fatalities and a single survivor. The final report on that accident has not yet been published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pilots’ Call and Pressure on the Airline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In light of this situation, the Indian Pilots’ Federation has requested the Ministry of Civil Aviation to conduct a special audit of Air India’s entire Boeing 787 fleet and has even suggested temporarily suspending operations of the affected aircraft until their safety can be guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
