Biocide overdose blunder suspected in A321 dual-engine incident (2020)

Because as far as the pilots are concerned, they seem to have done everything by the book? Every experienced 787 pilot literally now states that it's very less likely it's due to a pilot error because it's a 787 - it's designed to mitigate any form of pilot error, even if a pilot decided to go full suicidal and crash it. Within the aviation community, it's also bad practice to put blame on the pilots by default - in fact thinking like yours (oh, pilot error!) is what led to crashes like the 737 Max, because you'd like to rather blame the human rather than the machine or the process.

> most of the initial reports about the flight recorders were easily disproven as the 787 does not use an FDR/CVR but a more modern type of recorder that captures more data. which supposedly India lacks the equipment and/or knowhow to download.

> the chances of an objective and transparent investigation are basically zero.

I can't believe you actually stated both these sentences one after the other. Yes, India does not have the equipment to read the flight recorders on the 787, which is why the DGCA already confirmed yesterday that it's sending the recorders to the US FAA.

I thought there was a new lab in India that was equipped to recover data from this type of flight recorder, but in this case the recorders were being sent overseas because the extensive fire damage made the recovery process especially challenging [0]?
