The news today from EASA, doing their own certification.
"European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) executive director Patrick Ky said there is “still a lot of work to be performed” before it will allow the Boeing 737 MAX to return to service. Europe’s aviation safety authority has criticized the way FAA has allowed Boeing to “auto-certify” the key systems.
Ky told the European Parliament’s transport committee Sept. 3 that EASA has decided to recertify parts of the MAX’s flight control systems itself, oversight of which had been transferred to the FAA previously. “A lot of work is being done,” Ky said. EASA has been in close coordination with Boeing and the FAA for months. At this point the European agency is “happy” with some aspects of Boeing’s answers to its requests while there are others that “we need to discuss some more” and some issues still require more work."
