FAA Finds New Risk on 737 Max and Orders Boeing to Make Changes

June 26th, 2019

Via: Bloomberg:

Tests on Boeing Co.’s grounded 737 Max have revealed a new safety risk unrelated to two fatal crashes that led to the grounding of the aircraft, and U.S. regulators are ordering the company to make additional design changes.

The Federal Aviation Administration discovered that data processing by a flight computer on the jetliner could cause the plane to dive in a way that pilots had difficulty recovering from in simulator tests, according to two people familiar with the finding who asked not to be named to discuss it.

    What story this has become. The 737 may have been one of the safest passenger birds in the sky; excluding the death-Max of course. Now it’s crashing even while it’s on the ground. The timing, with everything else coming unglued, is sardonically poetic.
