Is the 737 MAX still unsafe?

Now: One activation of the MCAS system – If the sensor signals MCAS to activate, it will only activate once. Pilots can always counter MCAS by pulling on the control column. We are fully confident in the safety of the 737 MAX, in the updates, and in the work technicians performed while these planes were on the ground:

  • Updating the plane with the latest FAA-approved flight deck software
  • Rewiring the aircraft
  • Opening and inspecting the fuel tanks
  • Checking fluids, tires, avionics and engines
  • Cleaning every aircraft
  • Running the engines periodically to power the batteries
  • Cycling air in the cabin every four days

Is 737 Max still grounded?

Boeing 737 MAX groundings

A parking lot at Boeing Field in Seattle, Washington, filled with undelivered Boeing 737 MAX aircraft during the grounding
Date
  • Lion Air accident : October 29, 2018
  • Ethiopian Airlines accident : March 10, 2019
  • First grounding: March 10, 2019 by Ethiopian Airlines (superseded)
  • First grounding order: March 11, 2019 by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) – January 13, 2023
  • FAA grounding order March 13, 2019 – November 18, 2020
Duration
  • between accidents: 4 months and 10 days
  • of grounding by the FAA: 1 year, 8 months and 5 days (619 days)
Cause Airworthiness revoked after recurring flight control failure
Budget
  • direct costs: US$20 billion
  • indirect costs: US$60 billion
Deaths 346 total:

  • 189 on Lion Air Flight 610
  • 157 on Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302

The Boeing 737 MAX passenger airliner was grounded worldwide between March 2019 and December 2020 – longer in many jurisdictions – after 346 people died in two crashes: Lion Air Flight 610 on October 29, 2018 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 on March 10, 2019.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) resisted grounding the aircraft until March 13, 2019, when it received evidence of accident similarities. By then, 51 other regulators had already grounded the plane, and by March 18, 2019, all 387 aircraft in service were grounded. In 2016, FAA approved Boeing’s request to remove references to a new Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) from the flight manual.

In November 2018, after the Lion Air accident, Boeing instructed pilots to take corrective action in case of a malfunction, when the airplane would enter a series of automated nosedives. Boeing avoided revealing MCAS until pilots requested further explanation.

In December 2018, the FAA privately predicted that MCAS could cause 15 crashes over 30 years. In April 2019, the Ethiopian preliminary report stated that the crew had attempted the recovery procedure, and Boeing confirmed that MCAS had activated in both accidents. FAA certification of the MAX was subsequently investigated by the U.S.

Congress and multiple U.S. government agencies, including the Transportation Department, FBI, NTSB, Inspector General and special panels. Engineering reviews uncovered other design problems, unrelated to MCAS, in the flight computers and cockpit displays.

The Indonesian NTSC and the Ethiopian ECAA both attributed the crashes to faulty aircraft design and other factors, including maintenance and flight crew actions. Lawmakers investigated Boeing’s incentives to minimize training for the new aircraft. The FAA revoked Boeing’s authority to issue airworthiness certificates for individual MAX airplanes and fined Boeing for exerting “undue pressure” on its designated aircraft inspectors,

In August 2020, the FAA published requirements for fixing each aircraft and improving pilot training. On November 18, 2020, the FAA ended the 20-month grounding, the longest ever of a U.S. airliner. The accidents and grounding cost Boeing an estimated $20 billion in fines, compensation and legal fees, with indirect losses of more than $60 billion from 1,200 cancelled orders,

Why do Boeings keep crashing?

Inaccurate sensor readings activated the plane’s MCAS anti-stall system, pushing the nose of the aircraft lower as the pilots struggled to control it. Mechanical and design issues contributed to the crash, including incorrect assumptions on how an anti-stall device functioned and how pilots would react.

Why do Boeing 737 keep crashing?

It’s been widely reported that Boeing’s decision to use a flight control software fix known as MCAS in its 737 MAX planes was one of the key factors that led to two crashes that killed 346 people.

Did Boeing pay families?

Families of Crash Victims Challenge Boeing Settlement in US Court Fort Worth, Texas — The families of victims of the two Boeing 737 MAX crashes in October 2018 and March 2019 asked a Texas judge on Tuesday to overturn a $2.5 billion settlement between the aircraft manufacturer and the U.S. government.

  • Under that agreement, Boeing admitted to having committed fraud in exchange for the Department of Justice dropping some of the proceedings against it over the deadly crashes of Lion Air in Indonesia and Ethiopian Airlines, which killed 346 people total and caused the MAX to be grounded globally for 20 months.
  • This January 7, 2021, arrangement was the focus of a court hearing Tuesday in Fort Worth, Texas.
  • “They messed up by making the crime fraud rather than manslaughter,” said Catherine Berthet, a French woman who lost her 28-year-old daughter when the Ethiopian Airlines plane crashed near Addis Ababa on March 10, 2019.

“We believe that the rights of the victims’ families have not been respected,” she told AFP. “We have not been consulted. We ask to be heard.” Catherine Berthet, left, from France, and Nadia Milleron from the U.S., arrive for a hearing on the March 2019 Boeing 737 MAX crashes, at the Federal Court in Fort Worth, Texas, May 3, 2022 The January 2021 agreement included a $500 million compensation fund for victims’ relatives, $1.77 billion in compensation to the airlines and a $243 million criminal fine.

  1. Boeing has admitted that two of its employees had misled a group within the Federal Aviation Administration that was to prepare training for pilots in using Boeing’s new MCAS flight software, which was implicated in both crashes.
  2. “The judge listened carefully, and I think had a lot of concerns about how was it that the Justice Department can seal this agreement from the families,” said Paul Cassell, lawyer for the families in the audience.
  3. Relatives of the victims are now hoping for a quick decision from the Fort Worth judge.

“It’s been three years and I never go to sleep before four or five in the morning,” Berthet said. “I still have panic attacks. There are things I don’t do anymore. There are films that I can no longer see, music that I can no longer listen to.” “I would like to see that the U.S.
