The group is separately seeking to compel the FAA, under the Freedom of Information Act, to release documents related to the 737 MAX tests and technical fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FAA is requiring a number of software changes and new pilot training requirements before aircraft can be returned to service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The appeals court has ordered Flyers Rights to file a statement of issues by January 6 and both parties to file legal motions by January 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By David Shepardson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
