from the pilots instead of the faa or boeing being transparent about the safety issues. cnn s martin savidge is live at atlanta s international airport with the breaking details. reporter: there s no doubt that these revelations coming from pilots in the united states saying that they have difficulty controlling this brand new aircraft are going to add to the concerns of the flying public. the public may not beware that there is this system in place for pilots to sort of self-report to the federal government, and that s what has been happening. and let me read you one of the complaints that one of these pilots made, he said, i think it s unconscionable that a manufacturer, the faa would have pilots flying an airplane without adequately training or providing available resources and sufficient documentation to understand the highly complex systems that differentiate this aircraft from prior models. the flight manual is inadequate, and almost criminally insufficient. all airlines that o
other new data that silty plants. for now. this is new information that we received and analyzed this morning and it comes from validated satellite tracking data suggesting a possible, although unproven similarity in the flight profile of the aircraft. reference to the up-and-down pitching motion that doomed both the ethiopian airlines in the air flight five months earlier. as late as tuesday the faa had endorsed the max eight noted their reviews showing no systemic issues. unions are presenting thousands of southwest and american airline pilots also noted it. after 14,000 flights we have not seen a single anomaly. a separate report pumped by pilots had safety concerns, one caption: the flight manual, inadequate and almost criminally insufficient. he said it had determined out of an abundance of caution to recommend to the faa the temporary suspension of
and indonesian investigators said at the same time that information about the automated system wasn t covered in the aircraft aircraft s flight manual. boeing responded by issuing a bulletin to make sure airlines trained their pilots in how to shut off the system if it engaged in error. so boeing put out a bill tin. but how does one know that the airlines confirm that every pilot flying one of those planes was briefed? well, you know, this is a first of all, it s unprecedented for boeing to do something of that nature. it was actually an air worthiness directive put out. what s the difference? an air worthy directive, any airline has to respond immediately to correct the problem in whatever way is dictated by that air worthiness director, anything from a cessna 150 to a boeing 777 or in this
officials are now looking into that crash investigation. the airline says, specifically talking about lion air here, they say that boeing s flight manual did not contain guidance on new flight control features. that echoes what pilots with the allied pilot association, which is a pilot labor union here in the u.s. told me. boeing failed to warn pilots about a potentially dangerous feature on the new boeing 737 max eight and max nine. this is a very high tech aircraft. a spokesman told me, quote, they didn t provide us all the information that we rely on when we fly an aircraft, specifically with the aircraft flight control system. i just want to make one last point. they all say that they believe they meaning u.s. pilots believe this aircraft is safe. the danger comes in when boeing, the manufacture, did not enlighten them about all the
other part of nonstandard means that the standard emergency is covered in flight manual, and so if you had the emergency and react in a certain way such as the engine fire or something along those lines. grow to the manual and the standard emergency response, and read the checklists, and go from there, and that is is what they were referring to there, no checklist for this, and no time to even initiate one, and that what the memo is telling us in aviation speak, if you will. and paul cruikshank while the range of possibilities according to the analysts is everything from the bomb blast to the malfunctioning engine exploding to a structural problem causing fire on the plane, but wen you look tatter errorism, and typically the people who carry out acts of terror do so for the purpose of creating terror which means they telegraph what what they are doing as soon as get their successes.
