A Boeing 737 MAX 8 airplane being built for India-based Jet Airways lands following a test flight at Boeing Field in Seattle last month. The 737 Max was grounded worldwide in mid-March after the second crash brought the death toll to 346. Boeing included the alert as an optional feature in the 737 Max to alert pilots to potential equipment failures. In its statement, Boeing said the planes can be operated safely without the alert. The FAA review board found the alert to be a “low-risk” safety issue which would not render the plane unsafe to fly.
