Boeing’s chief aerospace safety officer suggested engineers who worked on development of the 737 MAX are still coming to terms with how the company contributed to two deadly crashes. Via seattletimes
A Boeing 737 Max jet is set to land at Boeing Field following a test flight in Seattle.
The company is mining flight data to assess and identify accident risks before anything goes wrong. And it’s preparing an internal education campaign for employees — from the executive suites to the engineering design offices to the factory floor — about lesson learned from the crashes. And it’s developing a video for employees specifically about the MAX crashes, although what exactly will be included is still in progress.
Now, it is also offering support to flight crews, whose flying experience varies widely across the globe. Additionally, Boeing has developed new pilot training courses that go beyond technical flying ability to include communication between pilots on the flight deck, leadership skills and both automatic and manual flight path management.
To illustrate how data mining can uncover risks, Uddanwadiker described a Boeing analysis of runway overruns — when planes overshoot the runway or veer off — that highlighted an unexpected number of incidents on longer runways where it shouldn’t be happening. At a building on Boeing’s Everett site, the company has a center set up to highlight lessons learned from past air accidents. To provide more access, it is launching a website on that theme for employees.
He was referring to the flawed flight control system known as the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System that Boeing added to the MAX to compensate for the extra lift in certain maneuvers due to the jet’s much larger engines.
