US NTSB to issue recommendations on 737 Max certification
US air crash investigators, who are assisting in probes of 2 fatal crashes of Boeing’s grounded 737 Max, plan to issue recommendations within 60 days on how the plane was designed and certified. The board will issue a recommendation package on “design certification issues,” NTSB chairman Robert Sumwalt said Wednesday at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing. Most of NTSB’s recommendations come in domestic accidents, but it has made sweeping requests in foreign investigations, including after the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in the Indian Ocean in 2014. Details of what the safety board will call for in the package weren’t revealed. The NTSB, which has no regulatory authority, relies instead on making recommendations to other agencies and companies during an investigation. <br/>
