NEW YORK - Boeing said Monday that the flight stabilisation system under scrutiny following two deadly 737 MAX plane crashes, met all US regulations.
"The FAA considered the final configuration and operating parameters of MCAS during MAX certification, and concluded that it met all certification and regulatory requirements," Boeing added. Investigation into the Lion Air crash in October implicated the MCAS which can erroneously force the plane down when the autopilot is engaged, if it detects the plane may be at risk of a stall. Both crashes happened shortly after takeoff.
The US Transportation Department's inspector general is probing the FAA's approval of the MCAS, the Wall Street Journal reported.
