International panel set to criticise FAA’s approval process for Boeing 737 MAX jets
A panel of international air-safety regulators is finishing a report expected to criticise the initial US approval process for Boeing ’s 737 MAX jets, according to people briefed on the conclusions, while urging a wide-ranging reassessment of how complex automated systems should be certified on future airliners. As part of roughly a dozen findings, these govt and industry officials said, the task force is poised to call out the FAA for what it describes as a lack of clarity and transparency in the way the FAA delegated authority to the plane maker to assess the safety of certain flight-control features. The upshot, according to some of these people, is that essential design changes didn’t receive adequate FAA attention. <br/>
