An 18-month investigation by a US House panel blasted Boeing Co and the Federal Aviation Administration over the 737 MAX which has been grounded ...

NEW YORK: Congressional investigators blamed two deadly Boeing 737 MAX crashes on"repeated and serious failures" by Boeing and air safety regulators, according to a report released Wednesday .

"What's particularly infuriating is how Boeing and FAA both gambled with public safety in the critical time period between the two crashes."The report adds to scrutiny of both Boeing and the FAA as the agency manages the process of requiring upgrades to the plane before it is cleared to fly again. The MAX has been grounded since March 2019.

"Once the FAA and other regulators have determined the MAX can safely return to service, it will be one of the most thoroughly scrutinised aircraft in history, and we have full confidence in its safety."An FAA spokesman said the agency"is committed to continually advancing aviation safety and looks forward to working with the Committee to implement improvements identified in its report".

MCAS, which was designed to help counter a tendency of the MAX to pitch up, could activate after data from only a single sensor.
