The FAA has proposed a number of design changes to the Boeing 737 Max as a result of investigations into the problems that caused two fatal crashes and led to the aircraft’s grounding.The global fleet of 737 Max aircraft has been grounded since March 2019 after two 737 Max crashes during 2018 in Ethiopia and Indonesia, which killed 157 and 189 people respectively.Subsequent investigations identified problems with the 737 Max’s manoeuvring characteristics augmentation system (MCAS) as the main cause of the crashes. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to ensure the airplane’s safe return to service. Earlier this week a key milestone in this process was achieved when the US regulator sent a An AD is a notice for owners and operators of an aircraft about technical corrections for safety problems that must be carried out before an aircraft can fly that issued by regulators.

This page outlines the aircraft certification processes, lists important aircraft safety information, and provides guidance on general aviation aircraft. Category A – Aircraft capable of MTOW of 300,000 pounds or more and a wingspan greater than 245 feet. categorized as Category A through Category F. Each aircraft is assigned a category based on wingspan and maximum takeoff weight (MTOW). <>
The MCAS, which was added to the 737 because of the heavier engines used in the Max version, automatically compensates when it senses the aircraft is stalling by turning the nose of the plane down and incorrectly operated when the crashes occurred.Boeing has been working with the FAA to return the aircraft to service since it was grounded 18 months ago and is now targeting earlier 2021 for this. The FAA has proposed a number of design changes to the Boeing 737 Max as a result of investigations into the problems that caused two fatal crashes and led to the aircraft’s grounding. Category B – Aircraft capable of MTOW of 300,000 pounds or more and a wingspan greater than 175 The Aircraft Characteristics Database provides basic aircraft characteristics for common aircraft needed to perform airport design functions. ;��N[�_i���2��d�R4�8*G��8,K#^�C5^��7�Ͱ|��Je�v_����]��|#+��E��������j��e��؊��7���[�U��0�CZ���\gJ�/�X$`�ׯ �%);yigFm�

Airplane Characteristics for Airport Planning These documents provide, in an industry-standardized format, airplane characteristics data for general airport planning. The global fleet of 737 Max aircraft has been grounded since March 2019 after two 737 Max crashes during 2018 in Ethiopia and Indonesia, which killed 157 and 189 people respectively. Once the NPRM is published in the Federal Register, a 45 day public comment period will begin.The changes proposed by the FAA to the 737 Max include modifications to the flight control software, a revision of crew procedures and the rerouting of internal wiring.The NPRM states: “This proposed AD would require installing new flight control computer software, revising the existing Airplane Flight Manual to incorporate new and revised flightcrew procedures, installing new Max display system software, changing the horizontal stabilizer trim wire routing installations, completing an angle of attack sensor system test, and performing an operational readiness flight.”Ben has worked all of his career as a journalist and now editor, covering almost all aspects of technology, engineering and industry.
