Ethiopian Airlines crash investigation reveals that following the recovery steps Boeing issued after the Lion Air 737 MAX crash last year was not good enough to prevent a 2nd tragedy
In a previous reply to questions about the 737 MAX grounding, a representative of EASA told this writer, “EASA is working towards having the aircraft return to service as soon as possible, but only once there is complete reassurance that it is safe.” The representative added, “EASA will go in-depth of the proposed changes that may include design and training aspects,” as promised to the European Parliament.
Boeing has gone forward with testing the effectiveness of its software patch in conditions considered similar to those of the Ethiopian Airlines and Lion Air crashes. However, the highly qualified flight test crew knew to anticipate the pre-programmed failure mode scenarios. That's very different from a crew on an ordinary flight coming up against unexpected and confusing systems readings., Rep. Peter DeFazio, chair of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, recently questioned the baseline certification of the aircraft and called for independent oversight before the aircraft would return to service.
