The FAA’s emergency order temporarily halts all flights of the Boeing MAX 8 and MAX 9 planes, effective immediately, “to address an emergency related to safety in air commerce,” the order says. The order also says “experimental airworthiness certificates” may be issued “to support certification of design changes.”
“We are supporting this proactive step out of an abundance of caution,” the statement said. “We are doing everything we can to understand the cause of the accidents in partnership with the investigators, deploy safety enhancements and help ensure this does not happen again.” Canadian Transport Minister Marc Garneau said he issued the “safety notice” after the newly-available data was reviewed Wednesday morning.
“My experts have looked at this and compared it to the flight that occurred with Lion Air six months ago in October, and . . . there are similarities that sort of exceed a certain threshold in our minds with respect to the possible cause of what happened in Ethiopia,” he said. In a preliminary report of the Lion Air crash, a device known as an “angle of attack” sensor mistakenly indicated the plane’s nose was too high, prompting the plane’s automation software to push the plane downward. The Lion Air pilots fought to raise the plane’s nose but were unable to sending the plane crashing into the Java Sea.
Officials around the world have cited the continued absence of clear information from the plane to call for Boeing 737 Max 8 jets to be grounded.
