Return of Boeing 737 Max aircraft stalled again

Fort Worth (US): Civil aviation regulators from around the world failed to make a determination Thursday on when Boeing’s popular 737 MAX aircraft can return to the skies after being grounded following two deadly crashes.

“The only timetable is to make sure the aircraft is safe to fly,” Daniel Elwell, acting head of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), said at the conclusion of the day-long meeting in Texas.

There was ‘enthusiastic agreement to continue the dialogue’, he said, but acknowledged that ‘each country has to make its own decision’.

Until the 737 MAX crashes in Ethiopia in March and Indonesia in October which left a combined 346 people dead, common practice was that air regulators would follow the assessment of the agency overseeing the model, in this case the FAA.

Elwell threw cold water Wednesday on hopes of a speedy resolution, after revealing Boeing had held off submitting a proposed software fix for review after his agency raised additional questions.

“Once we have addressed the information requests from the FAA, we will be ready to schedule a certification test flight and submit final certification documentation,” Boeing said in a statement.

Investigators have focused on the MAX’s anti-stall Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System in inquiries into the two deadly crashes. Boeing last week said the MCAS update was ready for the certification process, and US airlines were hoping the planes could be back in the skies in time for part of the summer travel season.

But Elwell said Thursday the process could take one month, two months or longer. “It is all determined by what we find in our analysis of the application,” he was quoted as saying by CNBC.

Once Boeing has submitted all documentation, the FAA will conduct a test flight and detailed analysis to evaluate the safety of the software.

US air carriers that operate the 737 MAX, including American Airlines, Southwest and United, have said they hope to have the planes flying again by mid-August at the latest.

Regaining public trust will take time, according to opinion polls conducted by Southwest showing that many passengers are not yet ready to get back aboard a 737 MAX jet.

And pilots also have qualms. “Before the Boeing MAX’s return to service, we need answers and transparency,” the European Cockpit Association said Thursday in a statement.

The organisation, which represents 38,000 pilots from 36 countries, said it was ‘deeply disturbing’ that the FAA and Boeing were considering a return to service while not disclosing ‘the many challenging questions prompted by the MAX design philosophy’.
