What needs to happen to get Boeing’s 737 Max flying again?
Boeing's 737 Max could be flying again before too long. On Thursday, Stephen Dickson, the administrator of the FAA, said a crucial test flight could occur in the coming weeks, setting in motion the complex process of ungrounding the plane. He also revealed that there was yet another problem with the Max: an indicator light that erroneously activated because of an issue with the flight control computer. Boeing is working to resolve the issue, which the company said it did not believe would cause further delays. Given the approaching test flight, and barring significant new problems, airlines like Southwest, American and United may be able to stick to their plans to use the Max this summer. Story covers what has to happen first, including: 1) Outstanding issues on the Max must be addressed 2) The FAA will fly the plane 3) Training for pilots must be decided. <br/>
