So this is essentially on the FCC for approving an quality assurance scheme that leaves them with no clue to figure out if this event would have been prevented if Boeing had followed it's own processes.
The problem for this investigation is that it's not a single door but an entire line of planes designed, made and inspected using processes and policies that the FCC should probably never have approved in the first place creating an situation where half the us aviation industry would collapse if a halt operations until everything have been reinspected under a more correct regulatory framework.
So there is a huge pressure on the NTSB for finding something fixable wrong as the alternative is to start the certification process for both the MAX 8/9 designs and the Boeing manufacturing lines in question from scratch.
- sophacles 3y agoThe FCC is not involved here. You might be thinking of the FAA, they are in charge of airplane things. What makes you think that boeing - a company scrutinized over the last few years for shoddy work, negligent employees and incomptent management - actually followed an approved procedure? There's been a lot of reports lately of missing paperwork and lack of qc, both of which are supposed to be part of the procedures (and are in fact in the approved procedures).
