The FAA misled Congress about a whistleblower’s allegation that many inspectors performing safety assessments on the Boeing 737 Max airplane weren’t properly qualified, a government watchdog concluded.
U.S. aviation regulators misled Congress about a whistleblower’s allegation that many inspectors performing safety assessments on the now-grounded Boeing Co. 737 Max airplane weren’t properly qualified to certify pilots or assess pilot training, a government watchdog agency has concluded.
The charges became public in April when Sen. Roger Wicker , chairman of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, issued a press release. At the time, FAA disputed the allegations, insisting in responses to Congress that its pilots were properly qualified. The issue had no bearing on decisions about pilot-training requirements on the 737 Max, said an agency official who wasn’t permitted to speak about the matter and asked not to be named. All pilots who assessed Boeing’s jet were properly qualified to do so, the person said.
