Monday’s dramatic LATAM flight is the latest in a long list of troubles for Boeing.
Ten passengers and three crew were hospitalised after the plane dropped 150 metres mid-flight, more than 50 people injured total.
US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that the Federal Aviation Administration’s audit into the Boeing 737 Max —the model used for the Alaska Airlines flight in January— found dozens of issues.
The agency tested 89 product parts from the 737 Max 9, passing in 56 of the audits but failing in 33.
Arnold said that the FAA has been given til late May to fix the issues found in the audit, and then within 90 days they must produce an ongoing quality control plan.
