The acting head of the Federal Aviation Administration defended the way his agency certifies airline safety after two deadly crashes of the now-grounded Boeing 737 Max jet. Both planes were equipped with a system designed to push the nose downward to prevent a midair stall. The pilots did not know the planes were equipped with the anti-stall system and their manuals had no explicit information. Boeing plans to submit changes to the 737 Max software to the FAA, which will study the new software and carry out tests flights. Boeing will train pilots before allowing the planes to fly again.
