Boeing 737 MAX Design Fehler tragen die Schuld am Indonesien Absturz

October 24, 2019 - Fehler im Design der Boeing 737 MAX waren eine der Ursachen für den Absturz der Lion Air mit 189 Menschen an Bord im letzten Jahr, so das Ergebnis der Untersuchungen der indonesischen Ermittler.

In a presentation to victims’ families ahead of the release of a final crash report on Friday, the Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee criticised the jet’s certification, saying that a now infamous flight-control mechanism was approved based on incorrect assumptions, Bloomberg said.

The Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) has been implicated separately in the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max in March that claimed 157 lives.

A failure to share vital information with pilots and airline maintenance stumbles also contributed to the crash of Lion Air Flight 610, investigators concluded.
