US House Democrats want FAA to release 737 MAX safety review documents

Representatives Peter DeFazio, who chairs the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and Rick Larsen, who heads an aviation subcommittee, said that the FAA should not give the plane the go-ahead to fly commercially again before it releases "system safety assessments, related analysis, assumptions about pilot response times and key test data concerning the safety of the aircraft."

WASHINGTON/SEATTLE: Two key House of Representatives Democrats on Thursday urged the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to release all documents related to the government's 18-month review of the grounded Boeing 737 MAX.

Representatives Peter DeFazio, who chairs the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and Rick Larsen, who heads an aviation subcommittee, said that the FAA should not give the plane the go-ahead to fly commercially again before it releases "system safety assessments, related analysis, assumptions about pilot response times and key test data concerning the safety of the aircraft."
