Satellite data aids FAA decision to ground Boeing 737
Max
Statement from the FAA on Ethiopian Airlines
The
FAA is ordering the temporary
grounding of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft
(PDF)
operated by U.S. airlines or in U.S. territory. The
agency made this decision as a result of the data
gathering process and new evidence collected at the site
and analyzed today. This evidence, together with newly
refined satellite data available to FAA this morning,
led to this decision.
The grounding will remain in effect pending further
investigation, including examination of information from
the aircraft’s flight data recorders and cockpit voice
recorders. An FAA team is in Ethiopia assisting the NTSB
as parties to the investigation of the Flight 302
accident. The agency will continue to investigate.
