The FAA was poorly positioned to oversee the safety of the automated flight system on the plane, according to The New York Times.
The Federal Aviation Administration didn't understand the risks of the flight-control system in Boeing's 737 Max before the first of its fatal accidents last October, according to a new report in The New York Times. The engineers charged with overseeing the safety of the automated software had little experience with such systems, according to the report. The FAA allowed Boeing to assess the safety of the system itself, The Times reported.
