New Delhi: Aviation regulator DGCA has found "human error", among others, as the cause of an incident at the Bengaluru airport two years ago involving an Air India Dreamliner plane, in which the aircraft's fuselage panel had fallen off at runway during landing. The Boeing 787-800 aircraft, bearing registration no VT-ANK, was carrying 146 passengers and seven crew members from Delhi at the time of incident on October 12, 2013.
"The RH heat exchanger access panel detached at the time of landing on runway as the panel was remaining on the aircraft with only four screws instead of 47 screws which were not fully tight. "The cause of the incident was due to human error and not adopting Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)," Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) concluded in its nine-page final investigation report on the incident. The report was made public this week. According to the investigation report, prior to flying to Bengaluru, the aircraft had operated Frankfurt-Delhi flight and was scheduled to fly to Melbourne.
