The report and India’s inspection order referred to an advisory from the Federal Aviation Administration in 2018 that recommended that carriers using Boeing models, including the 787, inspect the locking mechanism of the fuel control switches to ensure they could not be moved accidentally.

A preliminary report released last week included detail about the fuel, saying that the fuel to the plane's engines appeared to have been shut off.

A new report suggests the co-pilot officer on the doomed Air India flight thought the captain may have turned off the plane’s fuel switches shortly before the fatal crash.
