A preliminary report about the Air India jetliner that crashed in June did not say a broken cockpit seat was to blame, contrary to what has been claimed in posts online.

The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has successfully decoded all data from the black box of the plane that crashed in Ahmedabad, according to Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu.

Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu told Rajya Sabha that the AAIB is unbiased in investigating the Air India plane crash and urged restraint until the final report is released.

Sandhu, who was also a designated examiner for the Boeing 787-8 fleet at Air India, had taken delivery of the now-crashed 787-8 plane -- VT-ANB -- in 2013.

Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu on Monday asserted that the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is conducting an “unbiased” and “rule-based” investigation into the 12 June crash of Air India flight AI 171 in Ahmedabad,

Leaks in western media regarding Air India flight AI 171 crash prompt caution from aviation authorities and pilot bodies.

Capt. Sandhu, ex-B787 examiner, joins crash probe panel after experts stressed the need for a technical expert in the investigation team.

Naidu also said that in a first of its kind instance, the AAIB has been successful in decoding data from black boxes of the crashed Air India plane in India itself.

The AAIB confirmed that the probe into the crash is being carried out in a "rigorous and most professional manner in accordance with the AAIB Rules and international protocols."
