The Boeing pilots 737 Max they will not need to train again on flight simulators to be able to use the aircraft once the flight ban imposed on the model has been lifted., said Tuesday a group that advises the federal aeronautical authorities.
The advisory group noted that computer and clbadroom coursesPilots will receive sufficient training on the new software that Boeing will present as a solution to the problem posed by the MCAS automated system, which is suspected This was the cause of the latest tragedies in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
Aeronautical authorities from different parts of the world they suspended the use of the 737 Max after these two fatal accidents that left in less than six months a toll of 346 dead, and this was probably caused by the software.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has released the draft group report, the Flight Standardization Board. The FAA will receive public comments until April 30, and then make a final decision on training requirements.
But the FAA has already considered "adequate" some of the changes proposed by Boeing for its model 737 MAX, said a government source Tuesday.
The American aerospace giant, however, did not introduce the US Air Transport Regulator the complete set of required modifications after two fatal accidents involving this aircraft, he added.
The source said that "the (modification) of the training is operationally appropriate ". However, Boeing still has to present the latest package of software enhancements.
The company is working on a software solution for its Maneuverability Enhancement System (MCAS), which automatically corrects the direction of the nose or the angle of attack to avoid a fall in loss. Among the changes, there is the improved backup system that makes it easier to disconnect the MCAS, as well as programming looser settings so that the moment the system acts automatically.
It is believed that the Indonesian and Ethiopian tragedies were provoked by a fatal correction of MCAS, which inclined the nose of the aircraft based on an erroneous measurement of the probes and forced the two planes to crash without the pilots being able to stop it.
All 737 MAX are banned from flight following Ethiopian Airlines' latest accident on March 10 and the FAA stated that she would not rush to approve the proposed corrections.
The ban on theft Boeing is under increasing pressure, which forced the suspension of deliveries of these aircraft and reduce orders while their shares record heavy losses. And US airlines face hundreds of cancellations during the summer, the peak season of travel.
