REPORT: AIR INDIA A320 BRIEFLY LOST FLIGHT CONTROLS...

The aircraft suddenly dropped about 300 feet, injuring 24 people. Investigators are examining a flight-control / envelope event on a revenue flight.

SCOTT: A 300-foot uncommanded excursion with injuries is not a “report and move on” item. Crews should treat it as a flight-control / envelope event until the data says otherwise. If you fly the type, read the operator bulletin before your next pairing.
