▼ + stars: | 2024-01-15 | by ( Niraj Chokshi | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Boeing said Monday that it would make changes to quality control processes after one of its 737 Max 9 jets lost a portion of its body during a nearly catastrophic Alaska Airlines flight this month. And Boeing will bring in an outside party to review its quality control program and suggest improvements. The Federal Aviation Administration grounded all Max 9 planes and said it would expand its scrutiny of Boeing. Inspections of the planes led Boeing to conclude that its manufacturing practices needed improvement. “To that end, we are taking immediate actions to bolster quality assurance and controls across our factories.”

The Federal Aviation Administration on Friday said it will audit Boeing 's production line, a week after a door plug blew off an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9. The FAA grounded more than 170 Boeing 737 Max 9s, most of the world's fleet, after that incident. The agency said the audit applies to Boeing's production line for that plane model and its suppliers "to evaluate Boeing's compliance with its approved quality procedures." The FAA said it will also evaluate risks around Boeing's ability to self-monitor quality control and other aspects of airplane production. Still, the incident ramps up scrutiny on Boeing's quality problems and on regulators that oversee the industry.

☆ Cockpit Recording’s Erasure Hampers Boeing 737 Max 9 Investigation
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-10 | by ( Mark Walker | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Officials investigating why a panel on a Boeing 737 Max 9 blew open during an Alaska Airlines flight last week say they are struggling to piece together exactly what happened because the plane’s cockpit voice recorder overwrote itself before it could be retrieved. last month proposed 25-hour recorders on new planes but argued that adding them to the existing fleet of U.S. planes would be too expensive. In addition, a pilots’ union has opposed the move to 25-hour recordings unless Congress puts in place protections that would prohibit their release to the public. The chairwoman of the safety board, Jennifer Homendy, said the agency’s investigators had conducted 10 investigations since 2018 in which the cockpit voice recorder had been written over, with critical recordings lost forever. The voice recorders are among the key pieces of evidence that investigators use in reconstructing the events that led up to accidents as they work to establish a cause.
