Country’s transport regulator plans to conduct safety tests of grounded Boeing plane this week

The 737 Max has been grounded worldwide since March 2019 following two crashes five months apart that killed 346 people, with the same anti-stall system implicated in both incidents. The FAA did not ground the plane after the first crash, and was the last of the main international regulators to do so after the second.

Boeing has tried to co-ordinate with international regulators during the grounding, but the coronavirus pandemic has hampered the efforts of the Joint Authorities Technical Review, a body comprising civil aviation authorities from nine countries, plus the FAA and the U.S. space agency NASA. Transport Canada said in June that it was considering whether Boeing needed to also change the Max’s flight manual to include instructions on how to disable a “stick shaker” warning system when it is wrongly activated. In both Max crashes, the aeroplane’s control column began to vibrate, incorrectly signalling that the plane was about to stall, and adding to commotion in the cockpit as pilots tried to regain control.

European regulators have indicated they have further demands for the anti-stall system, including a fix to ensure that a single faulty sensor cannot automatically tip the plane’s nose downward. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency is yet to schedule its test flights.

Air Canada racks up second-most refund complaints in the U.S. in MayAir Canada had the second-highest number of complaints about refunds to the U.S. Department of Transportation of any airline in May. Still one of Canada's top three national airlines. The new Regulations set out for airlines, if they still think they can use loopholes in their favour. Fines need to be levied. MarcGarneau failed us completely throughout the pandemic by not placing strict, fineable, procedures on them to protect us. There has to be penalties. I know you are pro business but c’mon our national airline is ripping people off. What about everyone else who isn’t a faceless corporate entity? You need to protect Canadians dammit! MarcGarneau
