Re: Joint Authorities Technical Review. This is a very unusual move by the FAA.
Political positioning, need for world consensus to protect FAAs standing?
Or a much needed safety initiative to look at issues arising?
‘
The team will evaluate aspects of the 737 MAX automated flight control system, including its design and pilots’ interaction with the system, to determine its compliance with all applicable regulations and to identify future enhancements that might be needed.’
Is this just an ‘evaluation’. Or if aspects are not compliant with regulations (whose regulations), will change be mandated or only treated as ‘enhancements’, or aspects which should be incorporated in future (non-grandfather rights) regulations?
