An Airbus A320 operated by IndiGo experienced an uncommon occurrence on Monday while passing over the Guwahati to Mumbai route at a height of about 36,000 feet. The captain detected an Engine 1 stall warning signal that suddenly disappeared. Due to a larger jet of a Boeing 777 aircraft traveling in the opposite way of Indigo’s A320 aircraft, which generates “Wake Turbulence” mid-air, IndiGo flight 6E-6812 briefly had an engine 1 stall warning signal, an official told ANI.

The IndiGo plane was traveling well to its destination after seeing wake turbulence from an Emirates Boeing (B-777) large airliner. At roughly 6:32 am, an IndiGo flight with a destination of Mumbai departed from Guwahati airport on time. The huge jet aircraft that crossed in the opposite direction of the Indigo aircraft caused the “wake turbulence,” which is termed.

The major US-based transportation regulator, the Federation Aviation Administration (FAA), explicitly states that wake turbulence can occasionally be insignificant or catastrophic.

The weight, wingspan, size, and proximity to the original aircraft, as well as the point of the vortex collision, determine the impact of the encounter.

Wake turbulence can impose rolling moments that are greater than the roll-control authority of approaching aircraft, thereby endangering the safety of the passengers and damaging the aircraft. When passing through another aircraft’s wake, pilots should always be alert for the risk of encountering wake turbulence and change their flight route appropriately.

There was no harm done to the plane or the passengers, and the airline’s company reported the occurrence to India’s aviation oversight agency, Director General Civil Aviation (DGCA).
