[HIGHLIGHTS] Dishwashing liquid to install a door… an audit overwhelms the design process of Boeing’s 737 Max

FAA audit finds Boeing failed 33 of 89 audits of its 737 Max aircraft. Subcontractor Spirit Aero Systems responsible for the design of the fuselage and body of the 737 Max failed on seven of the 13 checks carried out.

“A slap in the face” for the manufacturer, according to Gérard Feldzer, former airline pilot and president of aviation without borders. Boeing has three months to redress the situation and offer solutions, says Stan Deal, head of Boeing’s commercial aviation arm.
