Families of victims of the AI-171 crash are renewing demands for greater transparency in the investigation and are calling for a memorial at the crash site. Reports say the families have reacted to an affidavit by the accident investigation body, the AAIB, and are seeking access to information they say has been withheld, including cockpit recordings and details related to the flight recorder data. They argue that full disclosure and direct access to the raw black box information would help them understand what happened.
According to the outlets, the AAIB affidavit states that the final probe report is expected in October. Families also highlight the role of simulator tests referenced in the investigation, asking for clearer information on how such tests are being used in assessing the crash.
In addition to information requests, the families are pressing for a permanent memorial at the crash location. Coverage notes that memorial plans are being discussed alongside the investigation updates, with families aiming for recognition of the victims as the official process continues.
