After the FAA let themselves get hoodwinked by Boeing, this means a lot less than it used to, and it will take time to restore a reputation for being a legit independent check.
- nolok 7y agoJust wait until the European agency certify it. They got the right to certify it themselves (before that they were grandfathered in the "accept FAA certification as is for Boeing plane" deal), and they're taking it seriously. Also even the FAA seems to finally have realized how close they were to losing their world status, so they act all serious about it.
- alkonaut 7y agoYeah I think this is one of those cases where both manufacturers and authorities knows there will be extreme scrutiny and no room for error.
