EASA Insists On Testing Boeing 737 MAX Itself Before Lifting Ban
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has said it will not take the FAA’s word that the 737 MAX is safe to return to service. (simpleflying.com) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
They should do what they think is right. Personally I prefer to fly US or Asian Carriers where possible.
I suspect this is as much about politics and protecting local interests as it is about safety. The third demand -- "A full understanding: EASA wants to be sure that both crashes are fully understood" -- is beyond the FAA's control. Who knows when the final reports will be issued for the two crashes? And I would expect some tit-for-tat down the line, when the FAA elects not to accept similar decisions from EASA and similar organizations, demanding their own tests.
Meh, I know MH370 is excessively anti Boeing by all his posts. But let them run their tests...it’s really not a huge deal.
The level of trust in the FAA certification process has been degraded by this issue and no responsible certification agency worthy of the name is not going to make their own determination as to the safety of the aircraft. I suspect there will be a lot of cooperation and sharing of data but the other agencies will want to be sure the aircraft meets their standards whatever they may be.
Like I said, let them run their tests...safety is safety.
Guess if you are responsible for safety in your airspace you have the right to be 100% certain the aircraft is safe.
