An analysis by Airbus has revealed that an Air India A320 briefly lost key flight controls during a significant drop of 300 feet. This incident, which occurred on August 4, was attributed to a failure in all three hydraulic systems, resulting in the loss of pressure.

Additionally, the flight's captain has been reported to have tested positive for marijuana, leading to further scrutiny surrounding the incident. This has prompted investigations, although specific details regarding the outcomes or implications of this drug test have not been disclosed.
