FAA Boeing 737 Max safety review will include nine global aviation regulators
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration will be joined by nine other aviation regulators from around the world for a safety review of the Boeing 737 MAX.
The Joint Authorities Technical Review will take place on April 29 with officials from China, the European Aviation Safety Agency, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates all present, as well as NASA.
The JATR will be chaired by former National Transportation Safety Board chairman Chris Hart.
They will look at the design and interaction with pilots of the automated flight control system ‘to identify future enhancements that might be needed,’ the FAA said.
The multi-lateral review will help speed up understanding of the issues, whilst ensuring a ‘uniform response,’ said Hart.
Boeing said it has made good progress with a planned software update for the MCAS system but hasn’t formally submitted it yet for FAA review.
It made a final test flight with the new update last week in readiness for formal certification flights.
