Boeing may soon be able to fly passengers on its long-delayed 737 MAX variants as it nears the end of a lengthy certification process with safety regulators.
The plane-maker has resolved an issue with the MAX’s engine anti-ice system, a potential design defect that has held up regulatory approval, company leaders said last week.
Separately, Boeing has finalized an enhanced angle of attack sensor system, a sensor that was at the center of two fatal 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019 that killed 346 people. In those cases, an erroneous read from the sensor triggered a new software system, which repeatedly pushed the plane’s nose down and caused the pilots to lose control.
I wouldn’t trust a Boeing as far as I could sneeze. They don’t have the best track record the last couple of years. Surprise fresh air ventilation is not something I want on a flight.
I choose deliberately which airline and which route I fly and it’s never with a Boeing.
Pfff it’ll be fine they won’t cut corners this time and have the best interest in your safety, not their profits.
