The Federation of Indian Pilots has asked the DGCA to inspect electrical systems on all Boeing 787s operating in India after an Air India 787-8 (VT-ANO) experienced an uncommanded mid‑flight deployment of its emergency turbine (RAT) on Oct. 4 and was later grounded in Birmingham following a landing incident.

Briefing
The event involved an uncommanded deployment of the emergency turbine (RAT) on Oct. 4 on Air India 787 VT-ANO, leaving the jet grounded in Birmingham and prompting the Federation of Indian Pilots to request DGCA inspections of 787 electrical systems.
The incident arrives amid intense technical scrutiny of Dreamliner systems after investigators completed a domestic black box decoding into a recent Air India 787 accident, increasing regulatory and public attention on systemic faults.
Regulators previously mandated fuel-switch inspections and operators have since completed precautionary checks and initiated avionics retrofits, meaning DGCA findings could prompt wider fleet actions, operational disruptions, or further mandated modifications.
