House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Investigation of the 737 Max
The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure’s final investigative findings on the design, development, and certification of Boeing’s 737 Max commercial jet found deficiencies with Boeing’s development and production of the aircraft and the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) ability to oversee the program. The report found “a disturbing pattern of technical miscalculations and troubling management misjudgments made by Boeing.” It also found “numerous oversight lapses and accountability gaps by the FAA.” It found Boeing made “fundamentally faulty assumptions about critical technologies” on the aircraft and withheld crucial information from the FAA, customers, and pilots. It also found that the FAA’s oversight structure “creates inherent conflicts of interest that have jeopardized the safety of the flying public,” and that the agency’s management overruled the determination of its own experts at the behest of Boeing.
