Boeing 737 MAX joint governmental review begins

The US Federal Aviation Administration said that a joint governmental review of the now-grounded Boeing 737 MAX will begin on April 29 and will include nine other aviation regulators from around the world.

737 MAX aircraft have been grounded worldwide following two deadly air crashes in half a year - that killed nearly 350 people.

China, the European Aviation Safety Agency, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates will all take part, the FAA said, in the Joint Authorities Technical Review (JATR) that is set to last 90 days, the FAA said. Most of the countries previously confirmed they would take part.

The team will evaluate aspects of the 737 MAX automated flight control system, including design and pilots' interaction with the system, "to determine its compliance with all applicable regulations and to identify future enhancements that might be needed," the FAA said.
