did the report say a one second delay or that the two switches were turned off at consecutive seconds? The latter is what I remembered, but I'll check again.
- histriosum 1y agoThe report can be found here: https://aaib.gov.in/What's%20New%20Assets/Preliminary%20Report%20VT-ANB.pdf https://aaib.gov.in/What's%20New%20Assets/Preliminary%20Repo... > did the report say a one second delay or that the two switches were turned off at consecutive seconds? The report states, on page 14: The aircraft achieved the maximum recorded airspeed of 180 Knots IAS at about 08:08:42 UTC and immediately thereafter, the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec. "with a time gap of 01 sec" seems fairly clear. The final report will have more granularity, but I don't think that's very ambiguous.
- noqc 1y agoYou are right, I was remembering the description of turning the switches back on.
- account42 1y ago> seems fairly clear Not at all. First of all writing it as "01" begs the question if there is a typo (is that really supposed to mean 1 or 0.1?) but even without that only specifying the interval to a second precision makes is much more likely that the difference is between samples of the switch state that are recorded at that rate.
