SEATTLE/WASHINGTON - Federal Aviation Administration Chief Steve Dickson is due to conduct a two-hour evaluation flight at the controls of a Boeing737 MAX on Wednesday, a key milestone for the jet to win approval to resume flying after two fatal crashes.
For Boeing, the flight is another milestone in the U.S. planemaker’s long-delayed quest to persuade the FAA to lift a March 2019 grounding order triggered by 737 MAX crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia within five months that killed 346 people. Dickson has repeatedly said he would not sign off until he flew it himself and was “satisfied that I would put my own family on it without a second thought.”
If Dickson’s flight and broader reviews go well, the FAA is seen as likely to lift its U.S. grounding order in late November, industry sources say, putting the MAX on a path to resume commercial service potentially before year-end.
