  "account": "More than a year after Air India Flight 171 crashed in Ahmedabad, killing at least 260 people, the Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) has written to the Civil Aviation Ministry. The FIP is seeking to ensure that technical submissions on the crash are formally considered before the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) finalises its report. The AAIB's investigation into the AI 171 crash is at an advanced stage, according to the FIP. The federation has raised concerns about inconsistencies between the AAIB's preliminary report and independent simulator assessments, particularly regarding the timing of the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) deployment and hydraulic power availability. The FIP argues that an independent review of the draft report should include a professional pilot perspective to ensure technical aspects are adequately represented.",
