The rush by regulators worldwide to ground the 737 MAX might be the right move to ease nerves, but absent any technical evidence of what is wrong the plane, it creates a situation where they may have no better justification to get these aircraft flying again than the FAA has provided already.
on Sunday, the rush by national regulators and airlines to ground the Boeing 737 MAX has been based on a loss of confidence and an abundance of caution rather than technical evidence. This creates a difficult path to get the planes back in the air.
"External reports are drawing similarities between this accident and the Lion Air Flight 610 accident on October 29, 2018. However, this investigation has just begun and to date we have not been provided data to draw any conclusions or take any actions." Boeing’s completion of the flight control system enhancements, which provide reduced reliance on procedures associated with required pilot memory items. The FAA anticipates mandating these design changes by AD no later than April 2019.Beyond enhancing the MCAS aircraft software to make these rare events easier for pilots to manage if they occur, Boeing will update training and manuals to reflect the new system functions.
Also, come the Boeing software fix in April, there will be no clear way of knowing whether that fix addresses any potential problems with flying the Boeing 737 MAX better than the previous AD did. The software fix is based on the assumption that some pilots may be confused by the procedures to manage erroneous AOA inputs. That assumption has no basis in accident findings—investigations are still ongoing.This is not to say that global regulators are acting inappropriately.
How can the FAA and Boeing pivot now to address the perception of fault? How can they come back with a fix–other than the fix already proposed–that will reassure airlines, passengers, and regulators in future that the yet unproven danger is passed? The public may accept this travel disruption in exchange for greater confidence in airline operations, as will airline staff. Flight attendant unions have asked American Airlines to ground these planes.
