Boeing Max design and pilot failures blamed for Lion Air crash

LA Times  

In this file photo taken on Oct. 10, 2018, a Lion Air Boeing 737 Max 800 aircraft is seen at the tarmac of the Mutiara Sis Al Jufri airport in Palu, Indonesia. Indonesian investigators found sweeping problems and missteps in connection with last year’s fatal Lion Air crash, including design flaws in Boeing Co.’s 737 Max jet, certification failures by the U.S. regulator and a raft of errors at the airline by pilots and mechanics. Lion Air said in a statement it’s “essential to determine the root cause and contributing factors to the accident and take immediate corrective actions to ensure that an accident like this one never happens again.” Separately, the FAA on Friday revoked the repair station certificate for Miramar, Fla.-based Xtra Aerospace LLC, which repaired the sensor that was later installed in the jet and malfunctioned, triggering MCAS. “This report is the final nail in the box that confirms Boeing’s failure to ensure a safe design and the FAA’s lack of adequate oversight to catch that,” Jeffrey Guzzetti, an aviation safety consultant who formerly headed FAA’s accident investigation division, said in an interview. “The incomplete report became a hazard as the known or suspected defects were not reported which might make the engineer unable to properly maintain the airworthiness of the aircraft.” The crash The doomed flight’s crew, who might not have been aware of the previous problems, failed to complete checks on the aircraft due to distractions from the flight system, increasing their stress levels, the report said.
