One minute after the plane took off from runway 27, the Captain made a scheduled right turn upon crossing the Bombay coastline over the Arabian Sea, where the plane rolled to the left and it never regained level flight, the Captain's AI (Attitude Indicator) showed the plane was in a right bank, the First Officer's AI showed the plane was in a left bank, the Captain mistaken perception of the attitude which resulted in him using the Aircraft Flight Control System to add more left bank and left rudder which caused the Boeing 747 to roll further to the left into a bank of 108 degrees and it rapidly lost altitude, just 101 seconds (1.68 minutes) after the plane left the runway, the plane hit the Arabian Sea at an estimated 35 degree nose down angle, there were no survivors.
