NTSB

Alvin Brown and J. Todd Inman were sworn in as new members of the NTSB on April 8, bringing the safety board to its full complement of five members.

NTSB says incorrect runway-condition assumptions appear to have played a role in a United Airlines 737-8 runway excursion on March 8 in Houston.

A revamped master supplier schedule is one sign the company may be serious about addressing years of problematic quality.

Norwegian air accident investigators probing the fatal crash of a Sikorsky S-92 say the aircraft landed on the water with “limited energy.”

In a recent incident at Newark, the captain attempted to use the rudder to keep the aircraft on the runway centerline but could not move the rudder pedals.

The absence of documentation on a process critical to an in-service occurrence points to broad gaps in Boeing's quality oversight process.

Don’t get hung up on the term "system."

The alternative to missing this crucial step is never good.

Master warnings alerted the flight crew to engine issues before a Bombardier Challenger 600 crashed in Florida on Feb. 9, killing both pilots, the NTSB said.

Startup Vertical Aerospace has won an £8 million ($10 million) grant from the UK government to develop next-generation propellers for its VX4 eVTOL air taxi .

The FAA’s draft rule on equipping new aircraft with cockpit voice recorders that capture at least 25 hr. of data has stakeholders sharply divided.

A cascading loss of propellers resulting from a blade failure caused by an anomalous propeller tilt mechanism was the likely cause of the crash of a Joby S4.

Investigators found no evidence of an uncontained engine failure or combustor damage.

FAA proposals mandating Boeing 737NG nacelle changes have some operators concerned about the agency’s plan to mitigate the risk of maintenance errors.

Boeing’s leadership team must continue to ask the hard questions and look further to honestly assess company culture that could contribute to future problems.

Investigators are still working to piece together what happened to the Boeing 737-9 in the weeks leading up to its delivery to Alaska.

Investigators determined the door plug was not opened between the airplane’s Oct. 31, 2023, delivery to Alaska Airlines and the accident flight.

An event-saturated January followed a year not short on its own challenges, and during recent earnings calls airlines projected which issues might spill over.

Boeing’s biggest problem is restoring trust.

Investigators are examining an engine fire on an Atlas Air Boeing 747-8F that had to return to Miami International Airport shortly after takeoff on Jan. 18.

After a week of precautionary checks after the Alaska Airlines accident, the Indonesian Transport Ministry has allowed Lion Air's Boeing 737-9s to resume service.

Neither the FAA nor Boeing will discuss the process or speculate on how long the inspection review will take.

Problematic Spirit AeroSystems-supplied 737-9 panels evaded Boeing quality checks and may have caused a Jan. 5 Alaska Airlines accident.

“We’re not going to point fingers,” the Boeing CEO said. “Because, yes, it escaped their factory; but then it escaped ours too. So, we’re all in this together.”

Figuring out what happened with four bolts on the Alaska Airlines accident flight 737 MAX is emerging as a key task in NTSB's probe.
