ADVERTISEMENTA consortium of Kenyan and American law firms announced the first litigation against Boeing on April 3, on behalf of eight Kenyan families. Jackson Musoni’s kin alleged Boeing had “defectively designed the automated flight control system,” according to Reuters. “Boeing’s 737 MAX Flight Crew Operations Manual (FCOM) already outlines an existing procedure to safely handle the unlikely event of erroneous data coming from an angle of attack (AOA) sensor. We’re nearing completion and anticipate its certification and implementation on the 737 MAX fleet worldwide in the weeks ahead. We regret the impact the grounding has had on our airline customers and their passengers,” Boeing Chairman, President & CEO, Dennis Muilenburg, said.
