) failed to adequately consider how pilots respond to cockpit emergencies in its 737 MAX safety assessment and may need to make changes to flight deck alerts, pilot procedures and training, the National Transportation Safety Board said.
The crews in those crashes “did not react in the ways Boeing and the FAA assumed they would,” said NTSB Chairman Robert Sumwalt. Boeing’s 737 MAX simulator tests with test pilots “did not look at all potential flight deck alerts and indications that pilots might face when this specific failure condition occurred in Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines,” Schulze said, adding that Boeing did not evaluate the “actual scenario” in the two fatal crashes in the simulator.
“Commercial airplanes should be able to be safely flown by an appropriately-trained pilot on his or her worst day,” DeFazio added. The safety board also said the FAA should develop “robust tools and methods” to validate assumptions about pilot response. Boeing’s 737 MAX safety system assessments assumed “immediate and appropriate pilot corrective actions in response to uncommanded flight control inputs, from systems such as MCAS,” the NTSB said. It should take into account how other possible flight deck alerts and other factors could impact pilots’ decision making and makes changes as warranted, the agency added.
