Boeing Statement On Lion Air Flight 610 Investigation Final Report
CHICAGO, Oct. 25,
2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Boeing (NYSE: BA) issued the following statement regarding the release today
of the final investigation report of Lion Air Flight 610 by
Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT):
"On behalf of everyone at Boeing, I want
to convey our heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of those who
lost their lives in these accidents. We mourn with Lion Air, and we would like
to express our deepest sympathies to the Lion Air family," said Boeing President
& CEO Dennis Muilenburg. "These tragic events have deeply
affected us all and we will always remember what happened."
"We commend Indonesia's
National Transportation Safety Committee for its extensive efforts to determine
the facts of this accident, the contributing factors to its cause and
recommendations aimed toward our common goal that this never happens again."
"We are addressing the KNKT's safety
recommendations, and taking actions to enhance the safety of the 737 MAX to
prevent the flight control conditions that occurred in this accident from ever
happening again. Safety is an enduring value for everyone at Boeing and the
safety of the flying public, our customers, and the crews aboard our airplanes
is always our top priority. We value our long-standing partnership with Lion Air
and we look forward to continuing to work together in the future."
Boeing experts, working as technical
advisors to the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, have supported the
KNKT over the course of the investigation. The company's engineers have been
working with the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other global
regulators to make software updates and other changes, taking into account the
information from the KNKT's investigation.
Since this accident, the 737 MAX and its
software are undergoing an unprecedented level of global regulatory oversight,
testing and analysis. This includes hundreds of simulator sessions and test
flights, regulatory analysis of thousands of documents, reviews by regulators
and independent experts and extensive certification requirements.
Over the past several months Boeing has
been making changes to the 737 MAX. Most significantly, Boeing has redesigned
the way Angle of Attack (AoA) sensors work with a feature of the flight control
software known as Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). Going
forward, MCAS will compare information from both AoA sensors before activating,
adding a new layer of protection.
In addition, MCAS will now only turn on
if both AoA sensors agree, will only activate once in response to erroneous AOA,
and will always be subject to a maximum limit that can be overridden with the
control column.
These software changes will prevent the
flight control conditions that occurred in this accident from ever happening
again.
In addition, Boeing is updating crew
manuals and pilot training, designed to ensure every pilot has all of the
information they need to fly the 737 MAX safely.
Boeing continues to work with the FAA and
other regulatory agencies worldwide on the certification of the software update
and training program to safely return the 737 MAX to service.
