Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger isn’t satisfied that the fixes for
Boeing’s 737 MAX proposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are
enough.
In an exclusive interview, the celebrated pilot said that even if the FAA
ungrounds the jet next month as expected, additional modifications are
needed as soon as possible to improve the plane’s crew alerting system and
add a third check on the jet’s angle of attack data.
“I’m not going to say, ‘We’re done, good enough, move on,'” said
Sullenberger.
“People are going to fly on it and I will probably be one of them,” he
added. “The updated MAX will probably be as safe as the (previous model)
737 NG when they are done with it. But it’s not as good as it should be.” |
