ALPA India Urges Public To Avoid Speculation After Baramati Aircraft Crash

In the wake of the recent aircraft accident in Baramati, the Air Line Pilots’ Association (ALPA) India issued a formal appeal to the public to cease armchair analysis and speculative commentary regarding the cause of the crash.

Statement Highlights Risks Of Speculation

The statement, released by ALPA India’s general secretary Capt. Anil Rao, emphasised that premature conclusions not only spread misinformation but also disrespect the technical complexities of aviation investigations.

Accidents Require Rigorous Analysis

He highlighted that aviation accidents are multifaceted events that require rigorous, data-driven analysis by statutory bodies. Speculation, particularly on social media, can create a false narrative before the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has even processed the flight data.

Speculation Undermines Crew Integrity

"Aviation investigations are deep, technical processes. When people speculate without access to flight data recorders or technical logs, it creates unnecessary panic and undermines the professional integrity of the crew involved," the statement suggested.

Families Affected By Rumours

While the association said that it was in touch with the families of the deceased crew members, it highlighted that speculative blaming can cause immense distress to the families of the crew and those involved in the accident. “We firmly believe that both pilots would have exercised the highest standards of professionalism and did everything humanly possible, to their very last breath, to safeguard the aircraft and those on board,” the statement read.

Investigation Must Remain Unbiased

It urged people to allow the AAIB and relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation without outside noise as the primary goal of an investigation is to prevent future occurrences, a goal hindered by the spread of "fake news" or unverified theories. While the investigation in Baramati is currently underway, ALPA India reiterated that the association’s priority is ensuring that the truth is uncovered through scientific methods rather than public opinion.
