Falhas no design do Boeing 737 MAX ligados ao acidente na Indonésia
October 24, 2019 -
Falhas no design do Boeing 737 MAX contribuíram para a queda de
um avião da Lion Air em outubro de 2018 que matou as 189 pessoas
a bordo, segundo os investigadores indonésios.
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.
