NTSB: Boeing Assumed Pilots Would Respond Quickly To 737 MAX Warnings

The transcript discusses the grounding of Boeing's 737 Max aircraft following two fatal crashes. The NTSB issued safety recommendations to the FAA after investigating the aircraft's MCAS system, which automatically adjusts the plane's nose. The investigation revealed that Boeing and the FAA did not adequately consider human factors in their design and certification processes. The NTSB suggests the FAA develop a standard process for validating pilot behavior assumptions and consider the impact of multiple cockpit alarms. Boeing is working on an MCAS software update, but the FAA has not set a timeline for recertifying the jets.
