<h1>Airline completes Boeing 787 fuel control switch inspections after fatal crash investigation reveals switches moved to cutoff</h1> An airline completed inspections of fuel control switch locking mechanisms in its Boeing 787 aircraft following aviation regulator directives, finding no issues. The inspections were ordered after an accident investigation report revealed fuel switches were cut off before a fatal crash that killed 260 people. The preliminary investigation showed fuel-control switches for both engines moved from 'run' to 'cutoff' position within one second during takeoff, causing immediate altitude loss. Cockpit recordings captured pilots expressing confusion about who cut off the fuel supply, with both denying responsibility. The airline's engineering team conducted precautionary inspections over the weekend and completed throttle control module replacements per manufacturer maintenance schedules. The fuel control switches regulate fuel flow to aircraft engines and are part of the throttle control module. The airline has instructed pilots to remain vigilant and report any technical defects through existing procedures.
