In testimony prepared for the hearing, Inspector General Calvin Scovel III said the FAA plans to significantly revamp its oversight of aircraft development by July. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, who oversees the FAA, has asked Scovel to look into the way the agency certified the 737 Max as airworthy. Acting FAA Administrator Daniel Elwell’s prepared testimony also hinted at coming changes at the FAA but gave few details. Multiple investigations into the 737 Max crashes are focusing on the new automated system that can push the plane’s nose down to prevent an aerodynamic stall.
