The flight data recorder from the Air India flight that tragically crashed in Ahmedabad, resulting in the deaths of 241 passengers and multiple ground fatalities, has been recovered, potentially offering a crucial key to deciphering the aetiology of this catastrophic incident.

The Boeing 787 en route to London impacted a medical college dormitory shortly after takeoff; the device offers critical insights into engine and control configurations, as well as cockpit communications, and may evince degraded engine output or a stall condition post-lift-off, whilst the sole surviving passenger attests to the aircraft's struggle in the immediate aftermath of departure, failing to attain sufficient altitude prior to the catastrophic event.

Investigators are meticulously scrutinizing a confluence of factors, encompassing wing flap configuration, engine thrust parameters, cockpit annunciations, ambient temperature, data entry pertaining to fuel load and passenger manifest, with American counterparts from the NTSB, FAA, Boeing, and General Electric collaboratively participating in a concerted effort aimed at preempting future incidents of a similar nature.
