Mr Muilenburg said that the MCAS system met its"design and certification criteria" and pointed to a number of other scenarios that may have contributed to the fatal accidents including actions taken or not taken by pilots. In the case of the Lion Air flight, a report suggested that the system malfunctioned, and forced the plane's nose down more than 20 times before it plummeted into the sea.Mr Muilenburg appeared amid reports that a number of whistleblowers had contacted the Federal Aviation Administration after the Ethiopian Airlines crash, regarding issues related to the sensors and MCAS system.
