Boeing presented the changes to the command / control systems installed on B737 MAX aircraft in front of hundreds of customers and specialists in the aeronautical industry, claiming that at the end of this week it will send the final version for evaluation and certification to the US Federal Aviation Administration. (FAA).
In these circumstances, the AACR is closely following the evolution of the assessment and certification procedures for the new version of B 737 MAX aircraft equipment in order to take a decision on maintaining the temporary suspension of flights with Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft and 9 in Romanian airspace, issued two weeks ago, as a result of the two emergency airworthiness and safety directives issued by the European Flight Safety Agency (EASA). We remind you that the operating restrictions with Boeing 737 MAX aircraft were imposed as a result of the plane crash of Ethiopian Airlines with 157 victims.
Mike Sinnett, Boeing's Vice President of Production Strategy, says Boeing will submit documentation to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as soon as possible to authorize / certify changes to the systems that equip Boeing B737 MAX aircraft. According to the Boeing official, this is a corrected version of the in-flight stabilization system designed to prevent loss of aircraft lift, "MCAS" (Manoeuvering Characteristics Augmentation System).
Mike Sinnett claims that the MCAS intervention will be more transparent for the crew, so pilots will be able to avoid the system more easily, in case of problems caused by its errors, and customers will have free access to the new technology.
