A DOT panel reviewing two Boeing 737 Max crashes overseas largely exonerates the FAA and Boeing for the way the plane was certified as safe to fly, calling the system “effective” and urging Congress not to “dismantle” it
The report, which was authored by five aviation industry insiders, in some instances quotes previous FAA talking points word-for-word.Produced in consultation with other pilots, engineers and managers at Boeing, FAA and beyond, the panel urges regulators not to “systematically dismantle” the system, charging that it could jeopardize “the remarkable level of safety that has been attained in recent decades,” according to the report and its executive summary.
“Critics often refer to delegation as ‘self-certification’ and argue that there is an inherent conflict of interest when employees of the company whose products are being certified are the ones performing some of the certification activities, thereby creating a regulatory blind spot,” the report said. “This interpretation is inaccurate.”
The report goes on to argue that the delegation system — which has existed in some form for decades — boosts safety, allows the FAA to focus on “the most critical certification areas” and has been expanded by Congress. “Without delegation or a significant increase in technical resources, the FAA would not be able to keep up with innovation and new designs, and would suppress industry under a regulatory backlog,” the report said.
