Boeing design flaw a factor in Lion Air crash: Indonesian probe


JAKARTA: A design flaw, inadequate pilot training and poor flight crew performance contributed to a Boeing jet crashing in Indonesia last year, killing all 189 people on board, investigators said Friday. "The aircraft flight manual and flight crew training did not include information about MCAS," the report said. Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) investigator Nurcahyo Utomo holds a Boeing 737 MAX model as he speaks during a press conference on the final report of the Lion Air flight 610 crash investigation in Jakarta, Indonesia. On Friday, following the release of the Indonesian report, Boeing expressed its "heartfelt condolences" to victims' families, and said it had since fixed the flight-control system's software. "Boeing is updating crew manuals and pilot training, designed to ensure every pilot has all of the information they need to fly the 737 MAX safely."
