must help him determine if the changes proposed by Boeing on the 737 MAX are adequate.
Transport Canada employees will travel to Seattle, Washington. They will also conduct tests on the technical simulator at the Boeing plant located in the same state, bordering British Columbia.
Transport Canada should thus become the first regulator outside the United States to conduct such tests. The MAX had already been the subject ofa series of certification flights conducted by the American authorities, towards the end of June.
Flight restrictions will remain in place in Canada until the ministry is fully satisfied that the manufacturer and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have addressed all safety concerns.

These are the update of the flight control software, a review of the display system to generate alerts, a review of some of the procedures for flight personnel, and changes in the routing of certain beams. wiring.
Several steps, which affect pilot training, among other things, must always be completed before the air authorities judge the aircraft safe enough to give Boeing a real green light.
