The flight data recorder from the Air India flight, recovered following its catastrophic crash in Ahmedabad that claimed the lives of 241 individuals on board and several more on the ground, potentially holds critical diagnostic information for elucidating the aetiology of the disaster.

The Boeing 787 bound for London impacted a medical university dormitory shortly after takeoff, an event yielding critical insights into engine parameters, control configurations, and cockpit voice recordings, potentially indicative of post-departure anomalies in engine thrust and lift generation; the sole survivor's account corroborates the aircraft's struggle immediately following liftoff and its failure to attain sufficient altitude prior to the catastrophic event, prompting a multifaceted investigation encompassing wing flap settings, engine performance metrics, cockpit alerts, ambient temperature, fuel load, and passenger weight distribution, with U.S. stakeholders, including the NTSB, FAA, Boeing, and General Electric, collaborating to ascertain the causal factors and formulate proactive measures to mitigate future incidents of this nature.
