Troubled Boeing 737 MAX 8 planes banned from UK airspace
The UK Civil Aviation Authority announced a ban on Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft from British airspace on Tuesday. Britain has joined a growing number of countries grounding the aircraft after two deadly crashes in recent weeks. (www.rt.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Interesting to look at the Max 8 in the air according to Flightaware. Seems that the CAA has relaxed its ban already.https://flightaware.com/live/aircrafttype/B38M
Better to be safe than sorry.
This is European petty provincialism at its worst. The CAA wouldn't be quite so quick to ground the Airbus, now would they? We have absolutely no idea of what really happened to either flight, nor are we ever likelyr to really find out, given local cultural norms that shift blame . All we know is that there have been no problems with American operation of this airplane. The only problems with the 737 MAX have arisen from the two areas of the world that seem to generate the most accidents--flying any aircraft.
Obviously, neither you nor I were on either flight, nor were we on the Flight Deck. And of course, none of us are privy to anything on the recorders that have been recovered.
I am sure there have been phone calls from EASA, FAA, and the UK authority regarding what investigators know thus far. I am also sure that Boeing, who has official standing in both investigations, has also been in contact with the same government authorities.
We do not know the reasonings behind the decisions made by those government authorities, and what they know or don't know. All you and I can offer is supposition at this point. Perhaps those authorities concluded to take the safe course, and erred on the side of caution. I am not sure I could blame them.

fear mongering / sensationalist media has gotten to everyone... lol love it. Glad the FAA is actually has a brain.
Is this THIRD time praise for the FAA who oversaw while Boeing rushed thru the MAX certification ? And the FAA somehow overlooked that a SINGLE failure of one Anglo=of=attack indicator (AoA) could cause plane to nose down into the ground ? (or ocean like Lionair)
Are you saying you've never heard of cutting out the STAB TRIM..?
