upcoming preliminary findings on the deadly crash of a 737 MAX 8 will add to questions about Boeing’s design and why the Federal Aviation Administration approved it to fly, a U.S. lawmaker familiar with some of the details said Wednesday.
Senators of both parties pressed acting FAA Administrator Dan Elwell last week on how his agency approved the 737 MAX, which first entered service in 2017 and has racked up two deadly crashes within five months. The accidents have also heightened questions about the FAA’s handling of a congressionally mandated certification system in which manufacturers like Boeing handle much of the testing and evaluation of their own equipment, with the agency's supervision.
Still, some members of Congress have sent mixed signals about whether their main concern is the safety of Boeing’s plane or the competence of foreign airlines’ pilots.
In fact, the Ethiopian pilots tried to follow the procedures that Boeing and the FAA had outlined for such an emergency, the Journal, citing people briefed on the findings.
