India urges training to replicate Lion Air crash for Boeing pilots

Pilots flying Boeing 737 MAX jets in India should be trained on a simulator that replicates the suspected scenario that led to the Lion Air crash, India's aviation regulator said Thursday. While India's DGCA recommended more training, it said Jet Airways and SpiceJet, which operate 737 MAX jets in India, have not had problems with the aircraft. "Even though Indian operators have not experienced such major concern ... following decisions were taken as interim precautionary safety measures till such time Boeing issues more detailed information or clarification," the DGCA said. An interim Indonesian report did not give a cause for the crash but focused on airline maintenance and training and the response of a Boeing anti-stall system to a recently replaced sensor. <br/>
