My understanding is that this has been changing recently. I live in the automotive market but this is what my colleagues in A&D have been telling me.
Regardless - internally to Boeing, I’m not buying that this went unnoticed or unreported. You’re also saying that changes were made where they knew it wasn’t appropriately reviewed by the DERs. The process wasn’t wrong but it wasn’t followed. I’m not going to blame green DERs.
I think you’re really side-stepping - while also highlighting - that there’s been inappropriate behavior, probably at more than one level, at Boeing and somebody has to take responsibility.
“I think you’re really side-stepping”
Uh, no, not side stepping at all. In fact, I was calling out Boeing and the FAA for that failure to follow the DO-178C process. For all practical purposes, the MCAS system was not certified at all.
