Panel's report blasts Boeing, FAA for crashes, seeks reforms

Boeing Max-Crash Causes

A House committee issued a scathing report Wednesday questioning whether Boeing and government regulators have recognized the problems that caused two deadly 737 Max jet crashes and whether either will be willing to make significant changes to fix them.

Staff members from the Democrat-controlled Transportation Committee blamed the crashes that killed 346 people on the “horrific culmination” of failed government oversight, design flaws and a lack of action at Boeing despite knowing about problems.

The committee identified many deficiencies in the Federal Aviation Administration approval process for new jetliners. But both the agency and Boeing have said certification of the Max complied with FAA regulations, the 246-page report said.

“The fact that a compliant airplane suffered from two deadly crashes in less than five months is clear evidence that the current regulatory system is fundamentally flawed and needs to be repaired,” the staff wrote in the report released early Wednesday.

The report highlights the need for legislation to fix the approval process and deal with the FAA’s delegation of some oversight tasks to aircraft manufacturer employees, said Committee Chairman Peter DeFazio, D-Oregon.

“Obviously the system is inadequate,” DeFazio said. “We will be adopting significant reforms.”

He wouldn’t give details of possible changes, saying committee leaders are in talks with Republicans about legislation. He said the committee won't scrap the delegation program, and he hopes to reach agreement on reforms before year's end.

The Senate Commerce Committee on Wednesday could make changes to a bipartisan bill giving the FAA more control over picking company employees who sign off on safety decisions. One improvement may be that a plane with significant changes from previous models would need more FAA review.

The House report stems from an 18-month investigation into the October 2018 crash of Lion Air flight 610 in Indonesia and the crash of Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 in March of 2019. The Max was grounded worldwide shortly after the Ethiopia crash. Regulators are testing planes with revamped flight control software, and Boeing hopes to get the Max flying again late this year or early in 2021.

Relatives of people who died in the crashes said the report is exposing the truth.

“It was an unforgivable crime, and Boeing still wants to return the aircraft to service quickly,” said Ababu Amha, whose wife was a flight attendant on the Ethiopia Airlines jet. “All those responsible for the accident should pay the price for their actions.”

The investigators mainly focused on the reason Boeing was able to get the jet approved with minimal pilot training: It convinced the FAA that the Max was an updated version of previous generation 737s.

But in fact, Boeing equipped the plane with software called MCAS, an acronym for Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, which automatically lowers the plane’s nose to prevent an aerodynamic stall. Initially, pilots worldwide weren’t told about the system, which Boeing said was needed because the Max had bigger, more powerful engines that were placed further forward on the wings than older 737s.

In both crashes, MCAS repeatedly pointed the nose down, forcing pilots into unsuccessful struggles to keep the planes aloft.

Committee investigators said they found several instances in which Boeing concealed information about MCAS from the FAA and airlines.

The Chicago-based company didn’t disclose that MCAS worked off a single sensor that measures a plane’s pitch. It also didn’t disclose that a gauge that would have alerted pilots to a malfunctioning sensor didn’t work on most the jets.

Boeing also concealed that it took a company test pilot more than 10 seconds to determine that MCAS was operating and respond to it, a condition that the pilot found to be “catastrophic,” according to the report. Federal guidelines assume pilots will respond to this condition within four seconds.

Four Boeing employees working as “authorized representatives” with permission to act on the FAA’s behalf to validate aircraft systems knew about the test pilot’s slow response. But there was no evidence that they reported this to the FAA, the report said.

Another authorized representative raised concerns in 2016 about hazards of MCAS repeatedly pointing the plane’s nose down, but the concerns never made it to the FAA.

According to the report, Boeing wanted to keep details about MCAS from the FAA so it wouldn't require additional pilot training. That would ruin Boeing’s sales pitch for the Max, that pilots of older 737s wouldn’t have to go through extensive simulator training to fly the new planes.

Investigators found that under a 2011 contract with Southwest Airlines, Boeing would have had to knock $1 million off the price of each Max if simulator training was needed.

“That drove a whole lot of really bad decisions internally at Boeing, and also the FAA did not pick up on these things,” DeFazio said.

He added that Boeing had an internal meeting in 2013 and agreed never to talk about MCAS outside the company. At one point, MCAS was listed in pilot training manuals, but an authorized representative signed off on removing it, he said.

In a statement, Boeing said it has worked to strengthen its safety culture and has learned from its mistakes. The company said it has has incorporated many recommendations from committees and experts who have examined Max issues.

“Change is always hard and requires a daily commitment, but we as a company are dedicated to doing the work,” the statement said.

The FAA said in a statement it looks forward to working to make improvements, and it's already making changes based on internal and independent reviews.

“These initiatives are focused on advancing overall aviation safety by improving our organization, processes, and culture,” the FAA said, adding that it is requiring a number of design changes to the Max before it can fly again.

When it came to FAA oversight, investigators said they found multiple examples of agency managers overruling technical and safety experts at the behest of Boeing. A draft internal FAA safety culture survey said that many in the FAA believe aviation safety leaders “are overly concerned with achieving the business oriented outcomes of industry stakeholders and are not held accountable for safety-related decisions,” the report stated.

In an interview with investigators, Keith Leverkuhn, former Boeing general manager for the Max who was promoted in the company, said he considered development of the Max a success despite the crashes.

“I do challenge the suggestion that the development was a failure,” the report quotes him as saying.

Investigators wrote that this raised doubts about Boeing’s ability to change.

“Only a genuine, holistic, and assertive commitment to changing the cultural issues unearthed in the committee’s investigation ... can enhance aviation safety and truly help both Boeing and the FAA learn from the dire lessons of the 737 Max tragedies,” the report said.

Airlines Writer David Koenig in Dallas and Elias Meseret in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, contributed to this report.

If you or your city or group has been battling the Arrogance and Corruption of the FAA on NextGen, Metroplex and the Boeing 737 Max8 crashes for years on end, as I have, these are the direct phone lines to the top Execs.

Start with Angela Stubblefield, Teri Bristol, Jacqueline Shackleford and Gary Norek at #3, #4, #5 and #6 and work your way down the list. Keep calling until you get the solution you desire.

When you get through to Angela Stubblefield, she will probably refer you to Gary Norek. Gary may return your call. He may sound like he wants to help you. He will suggest contacting the FAA ombudsman, gathering your neighborhood together or contacting your elected representatives. This is just a smokescreen. Every person in the FAA management refuses to take responsibility. In my experience, Gary Norek is as Corrupt as they come.

The American public must treat FAA management people as they (the public) have been treated. Contact them regularly. Write to them. Call them. Stand on their front lawns with signs of protest. Don't do anything illegal. You must make sure you become a thorn in their sides. You have a right to live a life free from their Corruptive practices and their abuse of Power.

You must be relentless if you want to stop the Corruption.

Every person on this list gets paid very well with your tax dollars. Their salary is much higher than it would be in the private sector for a similar position and I have yet to hear of any layoffs of any of these government employees.

DISGRACED-July 2020-FAA Top execs phone, email, salary. Still won't take responsibility for 346 deaths Boeing 737 Max8 deaths in Ethiopia and Indonesia.

Disgraced FAA Management. We murdered 346 people on two Boeing 737 Max 8 crashes. We deserve the death penalty.

These are the words that should be coming out of the mouths of the top management people who were leading the FAA during the time of the two Boeing 737 Max 8 air crashes in 2018-2019.

In Pictures-FAA Top Management Characters responsible for killing 346 people in two Boeing 737 MAX crashes.

FAA stands for Federal ARROGANCE Administration

Not a single one has admitted any responsibility.

Each of them should spend the rest of their lives in prison with the others murderers of our society.

Of course Congress won't do a thing because many members of Congress have the same Boeing blood money on their hands.

Unfortunately, the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) has the well deserved reputation of being one of the THE MOST ARROGANT AND MOST CORRUPT agencies in the United States Government.

The corruption of their leadership has been consumed with the corruption of character AND integrity.

Their arrogance is not only disgusting, it is dictatorial in nature.

Their empathy for the families of the 346 victims of these two Boeing 737 Max 8 crashes is non-existent.

They are people who SHOULD NOT be admired in any conceivable way.

Each of them qualify as a Mass Murderer according to FBI interpretation and should be on Death Row in Huntsville Prison, Texas.

Given the fact that the FAA knew that another BOEING 737 MAX 8 aircraft crash was "likely" after the Lion Air Crash, and in fact did happen in the Ethiopian Crash,

Any reasonable person and any reasonable jury of 12 unbiased individual American citizens must conclude that ALL 65 FAA TOP LEVEL MANAGEMENT PEOPLE must be categorized at "MASS MURDERERS" and should spend the rest of their lives in prison.

One of A.D.A. Jack McCoy's best quotes on the television series "Law and Order" is:

"Don't tell me you didn't know about it."

"You didn't want to know about it".

This is the excuse all 65 management people at the Federal ARROGANCE Administration use.

In October 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 crashed just minutes after taking off from Jakarta, Indonesia. It was the first fatal accident involving a 737 Max. 189 people died.

In March 2019, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, involving the same Max jet model, also crashed minutes after takeoff, killing all 157 people on board.

Consumer advocate Ralph Nader, whose grandniece was killed in the March crash of a 737 Max jet in Ethiopia, is accusing the Federal Aviation Administration of being beholden to Boeing.

“In all the product defects that I have worked on over the years, I have never seen so many whistleblowers [and] so many authentic aerospace experts condemning the Boeing practice here,”

Nader added. “The FAA has been in the pockets of the Boeing company for years — pressured by Congress and the White House on both parties to cut budgets, to cut staff, [and] reduce their talent pool to oversee Boeing.”

Nader said he sent letters to the FAA and Boeing and never got a response. “Boeing had a good record for 10 years or so. But that does not allow Boeing to have any free crashes that are preventable by standard aeronautical safety stability.”
