With conclusive information hard to come by weeks after the fatal Air India crash, the aviation industry has shifted its focus to possible pilot error.

A cockpit recording of dialogue between the two pilots of the Air India flight that crashed last month supports the view that the captain cut the flow of fuel to the plane's engines, said a source briefed on U.

A preliminary report released last week included detail about the fuel, saying that the fuel to the plane's engines appeared to have been shut off.
