The U.S. Transportation Department\u2019s inspector general faulted \u201cweaknesses\u201d in U.S. government certification of the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft that was grounded for 20 months after two crashes killed 346 people, according to a report released Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 63-page report said the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) did not have a complete understanding of a Boeing Co safety system tied to both crashes and said \u201cmuch work remains\u201d to address outstanding issues. It also cited \u201cmanagement and oversight weaknesses\u201d. Reuters<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA agreed to implement all 14 recommendations in the report and said it \u201chas already made substantial progress towards implementing reforms that address some of your recommendations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing said it has \u201cundertaken significant changes to reinforce our safety practices, and we have already made progress\u201d on recommendations outlined in the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report noted \u201cinstances where the same company engineer worked on a particular design and then approved the design\u201d as a Boeing employee conducting certification tasks for the FAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report added FAA needs to do more to ensure personnel conducting certification tasks \u201care adequately independent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the second report by the inspector general\u2019s office into the fatal crashes. The first, issued in June, disclosed Boeing had failed to submit documents to the FAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December, Congress passed legislation reforming how the FAA certifies airplanes, especially the long-standing practice of delegating some certification tasks to manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAA said it encouraging manufacturers to engage earlier in \u201ctheir development process to provide the agency a better understanding of novel features.\u201d It is also working with other civil aviation authorities \u201cto evaluate certification requirements for derivative aircraft, thus ensuring a consistent worldwide approach to safety and the similar evaluation and treatment of design changes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
