No defect found in switch of jet grounded by Air India - regulator

The Indian aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), has found no defect in the fuel control switch of the Boeing 787-8 jet that was grounded by Air India earlier this week. The jet was grounded after a pilot reported a potential issue with the fuel control switch during a flight. The DGCA conducted a thorough inspection of the aircraft and found that the switch was functioning properly. The regulator stated that the decision to ground the aircraft was a precautionary measure taken to ensure the safety of the passengers and crew. The incident has raised concerns about the reliability of the Boeing 787-8 aircraft, which has faced several technical issues in the past. However, the DGCA's findings suggest that the problem was not with the aircraft itself, but rather with the pilot's perception of the issue. The airline and the regulator have not provided any further details on the cause of the incident or the steps being taken to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
