Original title: Does Boeing 737 MAX go around? Consumers: You have lost confidence in it
On the 18th local time, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a statement approving the return of the Boeing 737 Max aircraft. On the same day, the US Federal Aviation Administration also issued an airworthiness directive, detailing software updates and changes to training content that must be completed before the aircraft takes off. Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration will retain the authority to issue Certificates of Airworthiness and Export Certificates of Airworthiness for all newly manufactured 737 MAX aircraft since the grounding order was issued.
According to Boeing’s official website, a number of improvements have been made to the 737 MAX’s equipped automatic anti-lock control system, and the 737 MAX design modification has undergone strict internal and external review, and more than 375,000 hours of engineering tests have been carried out. And it made 1,300 test flights.
Although Boeing believes the 737MAX is “safe now,” consumers are not buying it.
“I will never sit in the 737 MAX, and I will never let my beloved sit.”
“Carry a 737 MAX? Never!”
“No matter how they are launched, I will no longer take the 737 MAX.”
Some netizens call the 737MAX a death machine.Some netizens bluntly said that the 737 MAX airliner has completely lost the confidence of consumers.
“Can the 737MAX regain the confidence of the passengers? In a word: no.”
“Consumer confidence in the 737-series airliner has disappeared. I will never risk flying the 737 airliner.”
“Confidence is broken. I will do my best to avoid the 737 MAX.”
In addition to doubts about the safety of the 737 MAX aircraft, some netizens also pointed the finger at Boeing, the Federal Aviation Administration and even the US government.
The netizen wrote: “Wow, a company we don’t trust and a government we don’t trust assured us that a plane that has crashed twice is now safe. Let’s avoid it.”
Relatives of the victims: deeply shocked
It is still difficult for ordinary passengers to accept the return of the 737 MAX to the blue sky, much less the relatives of the victims of the two crashes that occurred in October 2018 and March 2019. After hearing that the 737MAX airliner was about to return to blue skies, an Irish woman named Naoys was “deeply shocked.” It is understood that Naues’ husband, Michael Ryan, sadly passed away in the Ethiopia plane crash in March 2019. Naoys questioned the safety of the 737MAX aircraft and was concerned that a similar tragedy would happen again.

In fact, after the Ethiopian Airlines crash, some US media outlets pointed out that the reason the design flawed Boeing 737 MAX was able to obtain airworthiness certification was not unrelated to the ineffective oversight of the Federal Aviation Administration. The investigative report released by the US House of Representatives in September also noted that the two fatal accidents were caused by “a series of serious mistakes made by Boeing and the FAA.” The FAA “severely lacks approval and oversight of the Boeing 737MAX series aircraft.”
In order to reduce the examination burden and improve the efficiency of examination and approval, the United States Federal Aviation Administration has implemented a system of “institutional authorization and authorization”, and part of the “designated authorization” of the activity Inspection will be conducted by aircraft manufacturers or third party professional organizations, including Boeing. In other words, Boeing, the producer, evaluates the quality of its products. “Self-production and self-inspection”, the results can be imagined.
David Sansusi, Former FAA Safety Inspector:In fact,After being authorized by the FAA agency,Boeing hires its own employeesAnd authorize their own employees to carry out qualification certifications,Let Boeing’s own employeesMonitor how Boeing produces airplanes.
Several FAA safety technicians also broke the news to the media that for many years the FAA has authorized part of the safety assessment for Boeing to complete on its own, including the system safety analysis of the system. automatic anti-lock. After receiving clearance, Boeing engineers determined that the 737 MAX series aircraft’s automatic anti-lock system “complied with all applicable FAA regulations.” However, both accidents were caused by the automatic anti-lock system.
