An additional warning light will become standard equipment in Boeing 737 Max jetliners.
An additional warning light will become standard equipment in Boeing 737 Max jetliners to help prevent the kind of troubles that may have led to two crashes, multiple news reports indicated Wednesday.
The warning light has been available as an option. Now Boeing will make it standard, the Associated Press and other news outlets reported, based on anonymous sources. All 371 of the 737 Max jets worldwide are presently grounded while the investigation continues intto the cause of the crash of the jet in Ethiopia on March 10. French authorities charged with analyzing the 737 Max 8's flight data and cockpit recorders recently confirmed that there appears to have been similarities between that accident, which killed 157 passengers and crew, and the Lion Air jet that crashed Oct. 29, taking 189 lives.
In the Lion Air crash, pilots fought to try to lift the nose as MCAS apparently kept trying to lower it. They eventually lost control of the plane, which plummeted into the Java Sea.
