All 737 Max grounded Archived Message Posted by Raskolnikov on March 13, 2019, 7:14 pm, in reply to "Boeing, The FAA, And Why Two 737 MAX Planes Crashed" Boeing and the FAA have finally been forced to ground the 737 Max worldwide. Boeing are trying to blame the federal government shutdown for the late software fixes: A software fix to the MCAS flight-control feature by the FAA and Boeing had been expected early in January, but discussions between regulators and the plane maker dragged on, partly over differences of opinion about technical and engineering issues, according to people familiar with the details. Officials from various parts of Boeing and the FAA had differing views about how extensive the fix should be. U.S. officials have said the federal government’s recent shutdown also halted work on the fix for five weeks. Expect lots of buck passing in the coming months.
