CEO will tell Congress that Boeing made mistakes on Max jet

Associated Press  

On the anniversary of the first of two deadly crashes involving Boeing 737 Max jets, the CEO will tell Congress that the aircraft company knows it made mistakes and is throwing everything into fixing the plane. We own that, and we are fixing them.” A key lawmaker said Monday that Boeing should have got things right the first time, before the Max began carrying passengers. In their final report on the first crash, Indonesia investigators said last week that Boeing’s design of a key flight-control system made the plane vulnerable if a single sensor failed — disregarding the aviation industry’s long reliance on redundant systems to prevent disaster. In his statement, Muilenburg said, “Our airline customers and their pilots have told us they don’t believe we communicated enough about MCAS — and we’ve heard them.” Rep. Peter DeFazio, chairman of the House Transportation Committee, said he will ask why Boeing didn’t tell the Federal Aviation Administration about changes during development of the Max that made MCAS more powerful.
