During that time, FAA employees worked diligently to identify and address the safety issues that played a role in the tragic loss of 346 lives aboard Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. Throughout our transparent process, we cooperated closely with our foreign counterparts on every aspect of the return to service. Additionally, Administrator Dickson personally took the recommended pilot training and piloted the Boeing 737 MAX, so he could experience the handling of the aircraft firsthand.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E_5cpPGEj1Q\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In addition to rescinding the order that grounded the aircraft, the FAA today published an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/foia\/electronic_reading_room\/boeing_reading_room\/media\/737_AD_2019-NM-035fr.pdf\">Airworthiness Directive<\/a>\u00a0<small>(PDF)<\/small>\u00a0specifying design changes that must be made before the aircraft returns to service, issued a Continued Airworthiness Notification to the International Community (CANIC)<strong>,<\/strong>\u00a0and published the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/foia\/electronic_reading_room\/boeing_reading_room\/media\/737_FSB_Report.pdf\">MAX training requirements.<\/a>\u00a0<small>(PDF)<\/small>\u00a0These actions do not allow the MAX to return immediately to the skies. The FAA must approve 737 MAX pilot training program revisions for each U.S. airline operating the MAX and will retain its authority to issue airworthiness certificates and export certificates of airworthiness for all new 737 MAX aircraft manufactured since the FAA issued the grounding order. Furthermore, airlines that have parked their MAX aircraft must take required maintenance steps to prepare them to fly again.<\/p>\n<p>The design and certification of this aircraft included an unprecedented level of collaborative and independent reviews by aviation authorities around the world. Those regulators have indicated that Boeing\u2019s design changes, together with the changes to crew procedures and training enhancements, will give them the confidence to validate the aircraft as safe to fly in their respective countries and regions.\u00a0 Following the return to service, the FAA will continue to work closely with our foreign civil aviation partners to evaluate any potential additional enhancements for the aircraft. The agency also will conduct the same rigorous, continued operational safety oversight of the MAX that we provide for the entire U.S. commercial fleet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/exit\/?pageName=View%20a%20video&amp;pgLnk=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu%2Ebe%2FE%5F5cpPGEj1Q\">View a video<\/a>\u00a0from Administrator Dickson.<\/p>\n<p>View all documents related to the Airworthiness Directive and return to service\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/foia\/electronic_reading_room\/boeing_reading_room\/\">https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/foia\/electronic_reading_room\/boeing_reading_room\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, DC&#8230;FAA Administrator Steve Dickson today signed\u00a0an order\u00a0(PDF)\u00a0that paves the way for the Boeing 737 MAX to return to commercial service.
