Employees walk by the end of a 737 Max aircraft at the Boeing factory in Renton, Washington, U.S., March 27, 2019. “The 10.30am (11.30am UAE) press conference is to present the preliminary report,” Ethiopian transport ministry spokesman Musie Yehyies said. The Ethiopian-led investigation has begun piecing together details of flight 302, starting with faulty sensor data on take-off from Addis Ababa, questions over the Boeing 737 Max’s high speed and a nosedive coinciding with the software re-activation. Cockpit procedures call for pilots to leave the MCAS system off for the rest of the flight once it has been disengaged. Boeing is upgrading the MCAS software and training while stressing that existing cockpit procedures enable safe flight.
