Air India has completed precautionary inspections of the Fuel Control Switch (FCS) locking mechanisms on its Boeing 787 and 737 aircraft, finding no issues. The checks were carried out following a directive from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), issued after a Boeing 787-8 crash on June 12 that killed 260 people and injured 67, according to Xinhua.

The inspections, which began voluntarily on July 12, were completed by the DGCA’s July 21 deadline. The directive was based on a US FAA bulletin warning of potential FCS disengagement. Preliminary findings from India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau indicated engine shutdown due to switch confusion, though no major faults were found with the aircraft or its engines.
