The Ethiopian government said data from the plane’s recorders showed “repetitive uncommanded aircraft nose-down conditions” and said Boeing should review its aircraft control system. It was the second crash of a 737 Max in five months, after the Lion Air disaster in Indonesia in October, which killed 189 people. Ethiopian Airlines said the report clearly showed the pilots followed procedures. While air investigation reports do not apportion blame, the Ethiopian inquiry has again highlighted the 737 Max control system. After that crash, Boeing issued instructions to pilots on how to override the Mcas system, but the Ethiopian crash report suggests they may not have worked.
