BOEING WARNS PILOTS IN WAKE OF DEADLY 737 CRASH

Boeing Co. has issued a safety bulletin reminding pilots of the steps required to ensure they maintain control of their aircraft in the wake of last month’s deadly plunge of an Indonesian jetliner into the Java Sea. The Flight Operations Technical Bulletin, dated Monday, was sent to Boeing customers around the world. Its purpose is to “reinforce active flight crew monitoring of airplane state and flight path management to prevent airplane upsets.” While it doesn’t specifically address Sriwijaya Air Flight SJ182, it is a high-level reminder for pilots to monitor their aircraft for the kind of issues that occurred prior to the crash and how to recover from such situations. “Loss of Control In-flight remains the single greatest cause of fatalities in commercial aviation,” the company said in the document reviewed by Bloomberg News.
