U.S. pilots demand better training if Boeing wants to rebuild trust in grounded 737 MAX airplanes GlobeBusiness
U.S. airplane pilots are warning that Boeing Co.’s draft training proposals for the troubled 737 MAX do not go far enough to address their concerns, according to written comments submitted to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and seen by Reuters.
Now it is readying for regulatory approval a final software update and training package to address an anti-stall system known as MCAS that played a role in both nose-down crashes. APA is arguing that mere computer explanation “will not provide a level of confidence for pilots to feel not only comfortable flying the aircraft but also relaying that confidence to the traveling public.”
American Airlines has said it is looking at the potential for additional training opportunities in coordination with the FAA and its pilots union.
