UK Guardian newspaper online edition says the two previous incidents in 2019 were similar but foreign operators, that the NTSB is saying the FAA are not taking this seriously enough and that there are 271 potentially defective actuators on non US registered 737s. Also says the actuator is an optional extra and Boeing told United to remove theiirs until they were replaced.
Boeing plan more (simulator - CNN) testing in October: presumably by the same bodybuilders as brought you the trim wheel fix for MCAS.
So it’s happened three times, the NTSB say it’s dangerous, the fix is obvious but only applied for US carriers. Which non US regulator will move first?
