To assist with the review of the proposed AD, the FAA also published their Preliminary Summary of the FAA’s Review of the Boeing 737 MAX (PDF). The NPRM is open for public comments with 45 days of publication.
The NPRM proposes mandating a number of design changes. The FAA has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for a Boeing 737 MAX airworthiness directive (AD) (PDF) as another step to clear the grounded Boeing 737 MAX jets for flight again. There will also be differences in training including that associated with the enhanced flight deck procedure.įiled under: Airworthiness Directives by Harro RanterĬomments Off on Canada introduces additional requirements to allow return to service of Boeing 737 MAX This feature will effectively reduce pilot workload given what has been learned from the two tragic accidents, and has been fully evaluated by Transport Canada’s flight test pilots. The Canadian design changes for the Boeing 737 MAX, compared to the U.S., will include an enhanced flight deck procedure that provides the option for a pilot-in-command to disable the “stick shaker” when the system has been erroneously activated by a failure in the angle of attack sensor system. This will allow for the return to service of the aircraft in Canada. It is complementary to the design and maintenance requirements of the Airworthiness Directive.Īs a final step in this process, Transport Canada will lift the existing Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) which prohibits the commercial operation of the aircraft in Canadian airspace on January 20, 2021. In addition to all reviews, and to provide additional assurances that all measures are in place, an Interim Order that indicates Transport Canada’s expectations and requirements for additional training for crew members was also issued for operators.
This concludes the department’s review of the aircraft. Abusing the engine will damage it.On January 18, 2021, Transport Canada issued an Airworthiness Directive for the Boeing 737 MAX which outlines the required modifications to be made to the aircraft prior to a return to service in Canadian airspace.

Two export versions of the T-2 were created that were purchased by Venezuela (T-2D) and Greece (T-2E). The following versions (T-2B and T-2C) would use two engines. It was a single engine aircraft powered by a Westinghouse J34-WE-48 with 3,400 pounds of thrust. The first version of the T-2 was designated T-2J-1-S, later redesignated the T-2A. An armament package was available that upgraded the T-2 to a six-mount status via an armament accessory kit that made the aircraft an effective light attack aircraft. It was capable of carrying a wide variety of training weapons packages (bombs, rockets and gun pods) on two wing mounts. The Buckeye was used for teaching a wide range of skills, including high-altitude, high-speed formation and aerobatic flights basic and radio instruments night and day navigation and gunnery, bombing, and carrier operations.
The trainer established an outstanding record of safety and reliability while providing training for more than 11,000 students to pilot 18 different models of Navy jet aircraft. T-2 trainers were used by the Naval Air Training Command to conduct advanced combat training for future Navy and Marine Corps aviators. Navy produced by North American (later Rockwell). T-2 Buckeye was a jet trainer aircraft for the U.S.
