The FAA’s Continued Airworthiness Notification on July 11 came after a preliminary report into Air India’s Boeing 787-8 crash, which killed 260 people on a flight to London last month, raised questions over engine fuel cutoff switches.

When asked for comment, the FAA said it did not have anything to add beyond the notification.
When asked for comment, Boeing referred questions to the FAA.
The report said Air India had said it had not carried out the FAA’s suggested inspections as the FAA 2018 advisory was not a mandate.
The report noted “all applicable airworthiness directives and alert service bulletins were complied on the aircraft as well as engines.”
“The pilots body must now be made part of the probe, at least as observers,” ALPA India President Sam Thomas told Reuters on Sunday.
In the flight’s final moments, one pilot was heard on the cockpit voice recorder asking the other why he cut off the fuel. “The other pilot responded that he did not do so,” the report said.
Two US safety experts said on Saturday they backed ALPA India’s request to be observers in the probe, but said the investigation report did not suggest a bias toward pilot error.
