Boeing chairman, president and CEO Dennis Muilenburg joined a pilot crew in testing the updated MCAS software.
The Federal Aviation Administration is working with NASA and international aviation regulators on a joint task force to review Boeing's fix for its popular 737 Max jets, the FAA said Wednesday.
Chaired by former National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Chris Hart, the task force will also review the MCAS'"design and pilots' interaction with the system, to determine its compliance with all applicable regulations and to identify future enhancements that might be needed," the FAA said. "The flight crew performed different scenarios that exercised various aspects of the software changes to test failure conditions," Boeing said in a statement."The software update worked as designed, and the pilots landed safely at Boeing Field."
