The FAA is inching closer to re-certifying Boeing's 737 Max, saying it plans to issue a proposed airworthiness directive for the grounded jetliner that will address design changes to fix a flawed flight control system.

Once the directive is issued, the FAA will provide 45 days for public comment on those fixes. After that, it may take weeks for those comments to be reviewed and incorporated in a final report. Over a three day period from June 29 through July 1, FAA test pilots and engineers flew a 737 Max and put the plane through various scenarios to evaluate the changes Boeing made to the MCAS flight control system, which is the system at fault in the two crashes. The FAA has been analyzing the data from those test flights to determine if the systems performed as they should to comply with safety regulations.
