US regulators complete test flights on Boeing 737 MAXA Boeing 737 MAX aircraft landing earlier this week following a FAA recertification flight. NEW YORK: Air safety regulators successfully completed three days of flight tests on the Boeing 737 MAX, a key step in recertifying the plane, US officials said Wednesday. While the flight tests in Seattle are "an important milestone ... a number of key tasks remain, including evaluating the data gathered during these flights," the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday. Besides evaluating data from the test flights, regulators still must develop pilot training protocols for the MAX that will be subject to public comment and a final review by a technical advisory board. All MAX aircraft manufactured since the crashes also will need to be personally inspected by FAA staff, the agency said.
