The Federal Aviation Administration didn't ensure Boeing adequately planned for pilot response to 737 Max system failures, NTSB says
The NTSB released recommendations Thursday after its investigation into the certification of the 737 Max. The agency specifically scrutinized the evaluation process for the Boeing 737 Max's Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System , a critical system at the center of two catastrophic crashes that left more than 300 people dead. The NTSB believes variances in pilot behavior are not being fully considered when the FAA evaluates an aircraft for certification.
The NTSB said Boeing test pilots never ran a scenario in the simulator that involved a situation where a false angle-of-attack reading triggered the MCAS system, which is what investigators believe happened in both 737 Max crashes.In both the Lion Air and Ethiopian Air crashes, the pilots faced a cascade of flight warning alerts, and it's believed the multiple alerts made it difficult for the pilots to quickly identify the problem.
