Pressure mounts on the US Federal Aviation Administration amid probe by the Department of Transport

A mourner of victims of the crashed Ethiopian Airlines flight reacts during the mass funeral at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on March 17 2019. Picture: AFP/SAMUEL HABTABFlight recorder data recovered from the wreckage of Boeing 737 Max aircraft that crashed in Ethiopia and Indonesia shows “clear similarities”, Addis Ababa said on Sunday as the US maker announced it is finalising a software update for its under-fire antistall system.

The 737 Max is a relatively new aircraft, having entered service only in May 2017 as Boeing’s answer to Airbus’s medium-haul A320 Neo. The manufacturer said on Sunday it is close to releasing a long-awaited software patch to the system.“While investigators continue to work to establish definitive conclusions, Boeing is finalising its development of a previously announced software update and pilot training revision that will address the MCAS flight control law’s behaviour in response to erroneous sensor inputs,” president and CEO Dennis Muilenburg said.

The journal said the probe will zero in on Seattle-area FAA offices. Boeing airliners are built near Seattle. On Sunday, the agency defended its practice, insisting that the 737 Max had to pass multiple tests and reviews before being authorised to fly.
