Pilots' Perspectives During a Power Overload that I believe caused the Air India 787 Crash (June 12, 2025) The 787 was consuming more power than it could produce and was tripping out various systems which means that it would have been prioritising the more important elements…

When all the 787s, and other, fuel switches were checked in India, did they also do a load test of the 14 V power supply to the fuels switch relays? It is not uncommon for fluctuating power supplies to the whole Aircraft and if there there is a drop in voltage from 14 V to 11 V…

Air India Flight AI-171, a Boeing 787-8 power supply brought it down nothing to do with the pilots and I don't blame the solenoid valve relays as they simply did not have enough power to keep them engaged to continue supplying fuel to the engines. The problem was an electrical…

The problem will be with the Liberian and the censor. The books themselves are possibly quite appropriate in the right environment.

SCOOP: Nichole Beer, an activist librarian at @ClarkCountySch, filed a police report against a school district trustee for making a comment online praying for p*ornographic material to be removed from school libraries. Nichole thinks she’s a "victim" because a school trustee…

Neither the pilots nor the computer switched off the fuel solenoid valves. The pilots did not touch the fuel switches. The switches remained locked in their RUN positions. The fuel valve switches switch a relay which powers a coil that provides the power to the fuel solenoids.…

A design issue brought down the 787 in India. The generating capacity was 14.45 MW. The maximum consumption was also 14.45 MW the safety feature was a load shedding capacity with backup systems being batteries, the RAT and the APU. However, in abnormal scenarios (e.g., software…

A greater probability that the pilots did not cause the loss of the 787. I believe there is an equal or greater chance that the following is what really happened as opposed to a pilot initiated event whereby the 787 catastrophe was caused by a voltage drop resulting from the…
