WASHINGTON
 (Reuters) - Boeing officials “inappropriately coached” test pilots 
during recertification efforts after two fatal 737 MAX crashes killed 
346 people, according to a lengthy congressional report released on 
Friday. 6park.com

The
 report from the Senate Commerce Committee Republican staff raised 
questions about testing this year of a key safety system known as MCAS 
tied to both fatal crashes was contrary to proper protocol.
The
 committee concluded Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Boeing 
officials “had established a pre-determined outcome to reaffirm a 
long-held human factor assumption related to pilot reaction time ... It 
appears, in this instance, FAA and Boeing were attempting to cover up 
important information that may have contributed to the 737 MAX 
tragedies.”
The
 report citing a whistleblower who alleged Boeing officials encouraged 
test pilots to “remember, get right on that pickle switch” prior to the 
exercise that resulted in pilot reaction in approximately four seconds, 
while another pilot in a separate test reacted in approximately 16 
seconds.
The account was corroborated during an FAA staff interview, the committee added.
Numerous
 reports have found Boeing failed to adequately consider how pilots 
respond to cockpit emergencies in its development of the 737 MAX.
Boeing said Friday it takes “seriously the committee’s findings and will continue to review the report in full.”
The
 FAA said Friday it was “carefully reviewing the document, which the 
committee acknowledges contains a number of unsubstantiated 
allegations.”
The
 agency added it is “confident that the safety issues that played a role
 in the tragic (737 MAX) accidents involving Lion Air Flight 610 and 
Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 have been addressed through the design 
changes required and independently approved by the FAA and its 
partners.”
Senate
 Commerce Committee chairman Roger Wicker said the report “details a 
number of significant examples of lapses in aviation safety oversight 
and failed leadership in the FAA.”
The
 committee also said “multiple independent whistleblowers contacted the 
committee to allege FAA senior management was complicit in determining 
the 737 MAX training certification level prior to any evaluation.”
Boeing resisted requiring simulator training for pilots before operating the 737 MAX but reversed course in January.
The
 report also noted Southwest Airlines was able to operate more than 
150,000 flights carrying 17.2 million passengers on jets without 
confirmation that required maintenance had been completed.
The
 Senate report said the Southwest flights “put millions of passengers at
 potential risk.” Southwest said Friday it was aware of the report and 
added “we do not tolerate any relaxing of standards that govern ultimate
 safety across our operation.”
Boeing
 still faces an ongoing criminal probe into the MAX. The committee said 
its review was “constrained due to the continued criminal investigation”
Last
 month, the FAA approved the 737 MAX’s return to service and flights 
have resumed in Brazil. The first U.S. 737 MAX commercial flight with 
paying passengers is set for Dec. 29.
Last
 month, the Senate committee unanimously a bill to reform how FAA 
certifies new airplanes and grant new protections for whistleblowers, 
among other reforms, while the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously
 passed a similar bill. 6park.com
