FAA tells Boeing more training for 737 Max pilots may be needed

WASHINGTON — U.S. regulators have told Boeing Co. that pilots may require additional training to properly respond to emergencies on the 737 Max after airline crews failed to perform proper procedures in simulator tests.

In a Feb. 19 letter to Boeing reviewed by Bloomberg News, the Federal Aviation Administration detailed multiple missteps that airline crews had made in the December simulator sessions and said additional tests are needed. The simulations replicated failures similar to those in two fatal crashes.

An analysis of the results by FAA and regulators in other nations reviewing revisions to the grounded jetliner may prompt “additional training requirements pertaining to the” aircraft, the letter said.

As a result of the tests, Boeing had already reversed its long-held position that Max pilots who were certified to fly on earlier versions of the 737 didn’t need extra simulator training. But the letter provides more detail about issues raised in the sessions and is the first indication that the government is also examining the need for more training requirements.

1. I would suggest perhaps

Training engineers to not kit-bash an old airplane design changing the center of gravity and training management to not hold the bottom line so important that they endanger the lives of the flying public might be better places to start.
