Ethiopian crew followed procedure: ReportADDIS ABABA- Agence France-PresseThe crew of the Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashed last month killing 157 people, repeatedly followed procedures recommended by Boeing, but were unable to regain control of the jet, according to the investigators' report released on April 4. The initial report, unveiled by Ethiopian Transport Minister Dagmawit Moges, cast further doubt on the system controlling the Boeing 737 MAX 8 model, which has been grounded worldwide for almost a month. The report recommends "the aircraft flight control system shall be reviewed by the manufacturer," she said. "Aviation authorities shall verify that the review of the aircraft flight control system has been adequately addressed by the manufacturer before the release of the aircraft for operations," she added. The release of the report came after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced a review of the certification of the automated flight control system on the 737 MAX.
