US FAA: ‘Key’ MAX certification issues emerge
The unprecedented and ongoing examination of aircraft certification, triggered by the 2 Boeing 737 MAX accidents, has identified several areas that must change to improve outcomes, FAA administrator Steve Dickson said. “We’ve identified some key themes that are emerging regarding aircraft certification processes,” Dickson said Sunday. Regulators agree that certification needs to shift from a “holistic vs. transactional” approach, human factors elements must be introduced earlier and more effectively throughout the design process, and information flow must improve—between regulators as well as applicants and their agencies. “These are among the many issues that we have to address to prevent the next accident from happening,” he added. <br/>
