US: FAA directly oversaw 737 Max software approval, agency head says
US aviation regulators were directly involved in the review and approval of the anti-stall system on Boeing’s grounded 737 Max aircraft that has been involved in 2 fatal crashes, the chief of the FAA plans to tell Congress Wednesday. The FAA is also revamping how it oversees companies such as Boeing that have been granted authority to use their own employees to sign off on aircraft designs, the DoT's inspector general will also testify to a Senate panel. “FAA engineers and flight test pilots were involved in the MCAS operational evaluation flight test,” Daniel Elwell said in the remarks prepared for a Senate hearing Wednesday. “The certification process was detailed and thorough, but, as is the case with newly certified products, time yields more data to be applied for continued analysis and improvement.” <br/>
