Global Regulators Aren’t Aligned in Boeing 737 Max Recertification
Global aviation regulators have yet to formulate a unified approach to getting the grounded Boeing Co. 737 Max airliner back into service after two fatal crashes, a division that risks undermining public trust in the industry’s safety record, according to Alexandre de Juniac, the head of the IATA association of global airlines. “The point on which we have to pay attention is for the regulators to be aligned,” de Juniac said in an interview with Bloomberg TV in Berlin. “Otherwise the… (skift.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
doubt if the European regulators will be in any hurry as Boeing brought suit against Airbus in the WTO and caused tariffs to be applied. what comes around goes around...........
Who do you trust when corporate greed exceeds common sense. Certification was rushed through the first time with tragic consequences. Boeing and the FAA own the responsibility for that. Despite delay costs, as a member of the travelling public, I appreciate the fact Transport Canada will do its own evaluation of this airplane.
No. This is when there is a shortage of common sense at the coal face with the engineers designing and checking the software and discussing with the humans that operate the aircraft. The push to "self-driving" aircraft is huge from the public (lower costs). Just like the self-driving software for motor vehicles (Tesla?) - it is not ready for prime time. This is what happens when you push for cheaper airfares and try and remove the humans - its not corporate greed but rather consumer greed.
You have the wrong impression of TransportCanada's expertise. My dealings with Transport Canada (as an engineer) show that it is unlikely that they have any engineers capable of making a judgement on the MCAS system. They will need to defer to the FAA's judgement.
Mistakes happen. Learn from them an move on. This was an error in engineering not oversight. Hire better engineers and do more checking and balancing. Regulators alignment does not factor into the risk management decision to allow the MAX back into service. De Juniac does not know what he is talking about.
