The head of the Federal Aviation Administration said Thursday the agency was “too hands off” in oversight of Boeing before a January mid-air emergency in a new Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9, as it pursued
multiple investigations into the planemaker. FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker’s comments at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing mark the first time the U.S. aviation regulator has acknowledged inadequate oversight in the Jan. 5 incident, in which a door panel blew out during the flight. “The FAA should have had much better visibility into what was happening at Boeing before Jan. 5,” Whitaker said.
” Whitaker also said the agency will continue increased on-site presence at Boeing and its supplier Spirit AeroSystems “for the foreseeable future.” He added there must be a “fundamental shift” in Boeing’s safety culture. “We have been too much in reactive mode, waiting for some event to occur and analyzing the event to find out what to do differently. So we’re shifting to a much more proactive approach.
