Boeing Co. has been working with the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other regulators to ensure its grounded 737 Max fleet is recertified in 2019, insisting it is making progress on getting its fixes for the troubled model approved. The source, requesting anonymity, said the European Union Aviation Safety Agency has sent its list to both the US Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing. What does conspicuously stand out is the previously unreported concern over the autopilot system failing to disengage in certain emergencies. An Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max 8 plane crashed after takeoff, killing all 157 passengers and crew on board. That crash came just five months after the October 2018 crash of a Lion Air 737 Max 8, which killed all 189 people on board.
