Pilots 'coached' to fit assumptions on MCAS reaction time

摘要

US Senate committee investigators believe Boeing and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) tried to reaffirm controversial assumptions over pilot response times during 737 Max recertification, by predetermining the outcome of tests on crew reactions to a runaway stabiliser. The Senate committee on commerce, science and transportation has found that Boeing "inappropriately coached" test pilots while conducting simulator tests during recertification of the Max, after two fatal accidents involving the type.
