This is a hypothesis-led, non-official technical reconstruction and deep-dive analysis based on the AAIB preliminary report and publicly available data.
A few key focus areas include:
• Granular sequencing of crew and system events post-liftoff, aligned with timeline markers
• Contrasting AI171’s system behavior with the 'heartbeat' of a healthy 787 aircraft — highlighting early divergence indicators
• Plausible electrical instability pathways potentially triggering fuel cutoff behavior
• RAT deployment dynamics and relay behavior under high electrical stress
• Evidence-led counterpoints to pilot error assumptions, based on system-level logic and the sequence of events and actions
The goal is not to conclude, but to open up a structured, system-based lens for aviation professionals to explore and discuss.
