US: Lawmakers seek outside review of 737 Max fixes prior to flights
Software updates that Boeing is readying for the 737 Max airliner should be cleared by an independent review before the beleaguered jet is allowed to fly again, the chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee said Tuesday. Peter DeFazio said the panel will send a bipartisan letter to the FAA Tuesday requesting the agency bring on an independent, third-party to evaluate the proposed fix and ensure that pilots receive adequate information and training on the system. “This all must be done before the 737 MAX is certified to return to service,” DeFazio said. “The traveling public needs assurances that the FAA will only re-certify the aircraft for flight if and when the FAA, outside safety and technical experts, and pilots agree the aircraft is safe to fly.” <br/>
