Boeing will recommend pilots undergo simulator training when the 737 Max returns — something that wasn't required when the plane first launched
Such training was not required when the variant originally launched, and there aren't many of the simulators in existence.
In a separate statement, the Federal Aviation Administration said it will consider Boeing's recommendations during upcoming evaluations of U.S. and international flight crews meant to help the FAA and other regulators assess 737 MAX training needs. U.S. and European aviation safety regulators are meeting with Boeing this week in an effort to complete a 737 MAX software documentation audit - an important step toward the grounded plane's eventual return to service.
At a Congressional hearing in October that focused on the 737 MAX crashes, U.S. lawmakers said Boeing had reassured Southwest Airlines, its largest customer, that simulator training would not be needed and backed up the promise with a $1 million per plane rebate if such training were necessary.
