Pilots urge DGCA to investigate Boeing 787 electrical systems after safety concerns.

The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) has urged the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the electrical systems of all Boeing 787 aircraft in India, following a recent incident involving an Air India flight that required emergency turbine power during its approach to Birmingham. Citing a fault in the Bus Power Control Unit (BPCU), which may have led to the auto-deployment of the Ram Air Turbine (RAT), FIP emphasized the need for thorough checks, particularly in light of the tragic crash of Air India flight AI 171 earlier this year. The call for heightened scrutiny reflects broader concerns regarding aviation safety and operational reliability, particularly in the wake of incidents that impact public confidence in air travel.
