Embraer malfunction reminiscent of 737 Max issue being probed
Pilots on a Republic Airways flight leaving Atlanta in November lost the ability to raise and lower their Embraer SA EMB-175’s nose, a failure reminiscent to what helped lead to the 2 737 Max crashes, investigators said Wednesday. The NTSB issued 10 recommendations to Brazil, where the jet was made, and US aviation regulators. One of the issues was the emergency procedures followed by the pilots, who were operating the flight for American Airlines Group didn’t seem to immediately stop the problem, the NTSB said. The failure was also difficult for pilots to detect, which occurred in the 737 Max crashes. The regional jet carrying 6 passengers and 4 crew members had just lifted off when the captain noticed the plane was trying to aggressively pull the nose up into a climb. <br/>
