The Boeing 737 MAX was grounded around the world after two crashes killed 346 people.
A former chief technical pilot for Boeing is facing federal charges for allegedly lying to the Federal Aviation Administration during its evaluation of the company's 737 Max airliners, which were grounded after two commercial flights crashed minutes after takeoff in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
"His callous choice to mislead the FAA hampered the agency's ability to protect the flying public and left pilots in the lurch, lacking information about certain 737 MAX flight controls," Acting US Attorney Chad E. Meacham said in the statement. Federal prosecutors allege Forkner deceived officials to save Boeing money. He is facing two counts of fraud involving aircraft parts and interstate commerce, as well as four counts of wire fraud.that the MCAS system activated four times after takeoff. The system would push the plane's nose down, incorrectly trying to prevent the plane from stalling. That action also increased speed, making it more difficult for pilots to keep the plane airborne.
