says Boeing has not completed work needed for 737 MAX 7 certify"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told Boeing it has not completed key work needed in order to certify the 737 MAX 7 by December, according to a letter from the FAA seen by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/aerospace-defense\/faa-says-boeing-has-not-completed-work-needed-737-max-7-approval-letter-2022-09-30\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lirio Liu, the FAA&#8217;s executive director of aviation safety, told Boeing in the Sept. 19 letter that the agency had concerns about the planemaker&#8217;s submissions and sought discussion &#8220;about realistic timeframes for receiving the remaining documents.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/09\/boeing-delivers-100th-737-800bcf.html\">Boeing delivers 100th 737-800BCF.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FAA told Boeing to turn in all remaining System Safety Assessments (SSAs) by mid-September &#8220;if the company intends to meet its project plan of completing certification work (and receiving FAA approval for this airplane) by December.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liu said as of Sept. 15, &#8220;just under 10% of the SSAs have been accepted by the FAA and another 70% of these documents are in various stages of review and revision.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boeing faces a December deadline to win approval from the FAA of the 737 MAX 7 and 10 variants, or it must meet new modern cockpit-alerting requirements that could significantly delay approvals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congress could opt to waive the requirements that were adopted as part of a certification reform bill passed after two fatal 737 MAX crashes killed 346 people and led to the best-selling plane&#8217;s 20-month grounding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/09\/china-airlines-confirms-order-for-boeing-787-9-jets.html\">China Airlines confirms order for up to 24 Boeing 787-9 jets.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FAA added in the that &#8220;most concerning, however, is that Boeing has yet to provide an initial submittal for six of the outstanding SSAs.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Many of these documents will take significant time to review due to their complexity and bearing on the overall safety of the new aircraft.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Work must be completed deliberately and in such a way that an arbitrary calendar date does not become the driving factor,&#8221; Liu wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boeing said it is &#8220;discussing with policymakers the time needed to complete these certifications, following established processes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are not seeking to rush this process, and believe safety is best served by allowing the 737-7 and 737-10 certification effort the time needed to complete this important work without introducing different systems,&#8221; Boeing said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid
