Chairs DeFazio, Larsen Urge FAA To Conduct Third-Party Review Of Boeing 737-MAX

Would Be Separate From The Recently-Established SOCAC

The Chair of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Peter DeFazio (D-OR) and Chair of the Subcommittee on Aviation Rick Larsen (D-WA) a letter Tuesday to Acting FAA Administrator Daniel K. Elwell urging the agency to engage an independent, third-party review composed of individuals with the technical skills and expertise to objectively assess the corrective measures proposed for the 737 MAX by Boeing.

“As the investigations proceed, it is important that there be a clear understanding of the cause or causes of the two accidents involving the 737 MAX and that the public is confident that all identified problems will be completely resolved.

"In order to provide this level of assurance, we urge you to engage an independent, third-party review composed of individuals with the technical skills and expertise to objectively advise on any measures being considered requiring the safety certification of new and novel technology, as recommended by the National Transportation Safety Board,” the Members wrote.

"To be clear, we believe this proposed third-party review should be separate from the recently established Safety Oversight and Certification Advisory Committee, which Congress required in the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-254) to review aircraft and flight standards certification processes. Involving a separate and independent third-party review to evaluate such corrective measures to the 737 MAX will help ensure that the chosen approach is methodical, durable, and resilient.

"Please keep our Committee’s staff informed of your actions regarding this request."
