Two US airlines fly the 737 MAX 8 -- the type of jet that crashed last year in Indonesia killing 189 people and on Sunday in Ethiopia killing all 157 on board.
It's very early in the investigation. Because the flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders were only recovered Monday,. There are countless reasons a plane can crash -- including birds flying into engines, a problem with weight balance or pilot error.
Goglia said airlines that fly the 737 MAX 8 should be reviewing their flight training for the aircraft."You can't underestimate the power of what goes on behind the scenes at airlines," said William Voss, a former FAA deputy director and ex-CEO of the Flight Safety Foundation."If they think they have a threat, they will step up and respond independently."
In November Boeing issued an"Operations Manual Bulletin" advising airline operators how to address erroneous cockpit readings. The directive pointed airlines"to existing flight crew procedures to address circumstances where there is erroneous input from an AOA sensor," a Boeing statement said. The FAA later issued its own directive that advised pilots about how to respond to similar problems.
