CNN: ‘FAA Keeps Boeing’s 737 Max 9 Grounded as It Reviews Inspections and Data’
Pete Muntean, reporting for CNN:
The Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday that after
reviewing Boeing’s instructions for inspecting grounded 737 Max 9
planes, it has decided to seek more information before allowing
the plan to proceed. In a statement, FAA also said it would keep
the Boeing 737 Max 9 “grounded until extensive inspection and
maintenance is conducted and data from inspections is reviewed.”
The announcement comes exactly one week after the dramatic
in-flight incident on Alaska Airlines flight 1282, when a part
called a door plug was blown off the side of the plane. […] 171
of the planes remain grounded in the United States as airlines
Alaska and United await updated emergency inspection guidance from
the FAA.
The FAA, yesterday:
After taking decisive and immediate action to ground approximately
171 Boeing 737-9 MAX planes, the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) today announced new and significant actions to immediately
increase its oversight of Boeing production and manufacturing.
These actions come one day after the FAA formally notified Boeing
that the FAA has launched an investigation into the company as a
result of last Friday’s incident on a Boeing Model 737-9 MAX in
which the aircraft lost a passenger door plug while in flight.
Something has gone deeply wrong at Boeing, a once-great company. This is exactly the sort of situation where government regulators are needed: for issues pertaining to safety.
