Lion Air co-pilot’s family sues Boeing over MAX crash
Lawyers for the family of the co-pilot killed in the crash of the Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX 8 have filed a lawsuit against Boeing alleging the aircraft was “unreasonably dangerous” and that the manufacturer failed to provide proper instruction on how to handle the new narrowbody’s anti-stall system. Lion Air disclosing the lawsuit on behalf of the family of co-pilot Harvino, who is described as an experienced pilot with over 5,000 flight hours. The accident investigation has focused on the MAX’s automatic stall-protection system and why the aircraft was permitted to operate when flight-control issues were not fixed during maintenance. Pilots reported a series of technical faults with the 3-month-old aircraft during 4 flights over 3 days before the accident flight. <br/>
