Dette høres merkelig ut. Boeing har blitt gransket av NTSB og andre. FAA har blitt gransket fordi de hadde manglende oppsyn med Boeing hvor de hadde gitt selskapet ganske frie tøyer når det gjaldt sertifisering. Nå skal Boeing granskes på nytt etter initiativ fra en av "skurkene". Høres skummelt ut. (Red.)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said
Thursday it had named 24 experts to review Boeing’s safety management processes
and how they influence Boeing’s safety culture after two fatal 737 MAX crashes
killed 346 people.
The panel, which was required by Congress under a 2020 law to reform
how the FAA certifies new airplanes, includes MIT lecturer and aerospace
engineer Javier de Luis whose sister was killed in a MAX crash, as well as
experts from NASA, the FAA, labor unions, Airbus, Southwest Airlines, American
Airlines, United Airlines, GE Aviation, FedEx Express and Pratt & Whitney.
The panel will convene in the coming weeks and have nine months to
complete its review and issue findings and recommendations, the FAA said.
Congress directed the agency to appoint a panel by 2021, but the FAA missed
that deadline.
A September 2020 House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
report said the MAX crashes "were the horrific culmination of a series of
faulty technical assumptions by Boeing's engineers, a lack of transparency on
the part of Boeing's management, and grossly insufficient oversight by the
FAA."
Boeing did not immediately comment Thursday, but has previously
emphasized it has made reforms to its safety culture that cost the company
billions of dollars.
De Luis, a lecturer in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Engineering, told Congress in 2020 that "Boeing cannot be allowed to
continue to certify its own designs, especially those systems that directly
impact vehicle safety, with little to no outside review."
Last month, Congress voted to lift a Dec. 27 deadline imposing a new
safety standard for modern cockpit alerts for two new versions of the 737 MAX
aircraft that could have put the sale of those new models at risk.
In September, the
FAA finalized a policy to protect aviation employees who perform government
certification duties from interference by Boeing and others.
