The Air India plane that crashed last month in Ahmedabad showed the plane engines' fuel cutoff switches shifting from "run" to "cut off" within seconds of each other, causing a loss of thrust.
Only one person out of the 242 people on board the airplane survived, and at least 19 people died on the ground where the plane crashed moments after takeoff.
According to a preliminary report by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) released on Friday, the Air India plane achieved a maximum speed of 180 knots indicated airspeed (IAS), and both engines 1 and 2 "immediately" cut off.
"At this stage of investigation, there are no recommended actions to Boeing 787-8 and/or GE GEnx-1B engine operators and manufacturers," India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau said.
