Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg acknowledged, for the first time, that bad data feeding into an automated flight system on the company's popular 737 jets played a role in two crashes that killed 346 people after Ethiopian aviation officials said their investigation found no pilot error in a March 10 crash in Addis Ababa.
"The crew performed all the procedures repeatedly provided by the manufacturer but was not able to control the aircraft," Ethiopian Transport Minister Dagmawit Moges told reporters at a news conference earlier Thursday. "Since repetitive uncommanded aircraft nose-down conditions are noticed ... it is recommend that the aircraft control system shall be reviewed by the manufacturer," Dagmawit said. She also suggested that the aviation authority ensures the jet's flight control system is reviewed by Boeing before the jets are allowed to fly again.
"It's our responsibility to eliminate this risk. We own it and we know how to do it," said Muilenburg.
Well, maybe those derelicts should have grounded the plane as soon as they knew something was wrong with it. SMDH

So are we to understand that even though the 737 had a computer anomaly that generated a runaway trim, pilots were not instructed how to override it? The computer code anomaly should have prevented an Airworthiness certificate being issued at the outset💚🇺🇸 If it's a Boeing I sure as hell ain't going......

They knew the problem...seem they chose to ignore it. Sue for tons of $$$$$$$yes. I’m surprised there has been no class action yet 😅 Is there enough evidence suggesting the MCAS system is at fault, pilots were following instructions, albeit in vain, as instructed to respond to the sensor reading discrepancies?
