Aircraft: Boeing tests fixes to 737 Max

-

Boeing began test flights of the 737 Max for the first time since a fatal crash in March 2019, said Julie Johnsson and Alan Levin in Bloomberg .com. “Flight enthusiast­s around the world followed in real time” this week as the troubled aircraft attempted a certificat­ion flight with a pilot from the Federal Aviation Administra­tion. “The FAA plans to put the jet through a rigorous examinatio­n” after changes to faulty flight-control systems that are believed to have been responsibl­e for two crashes killing 346 people. Boeing continues to face the fallout: Norwegian Air this week canceled an order for 97 jets worth $10.6 billion.
