If the Federal Aviation Administration does not certify the planes by year end, Boeing would be required under a 2020 law to add a new type of system to alert pilots when there is a potential safety problem with the flight.
Federal officials say Boeing has completed little of the work necessary to certify the new Max versions by a Dec. 31, 2022 deadline.
Boeing wants to avoid adding the crew-alerting system, which would further delay approval of the new Max 7 and Max 10 jets. The company argues that the system doesn't exist on older 737s, and putting it on future Max jets would add complexity for pilots. “Many of these documents will take significant time to review due to their complexity and bearing on the overall safety of the new aircraft,” the official wrote.
“At the same time, we are discussing with policymakers the time needed to complete these certifications, following established processes,” Boeing said.
