that's mcas, is it? >> the autopilot that is put on the airplane -- >> everyone knows the autopilot. aside from the autopilot, isn't that right, , mcas with the very first computer software, yes or no? or you don't know? chief engineer? >> i guess the word you're using i would say the autopilot does satisfy that. >> second they would be the mcas would be the second one, right? >> there's a damper function that moves independent of the pilot. >> do you have in the quick reference handbook do you have a procedure for addressing a failure on that? >> i -- >> you probably do but you don't have it for the mcas. that's -- you didn't give them the information they needed. >> congressman, that's one area where we've learned and we're we coming back and adding that information to the manual. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> mr. mitchell. >> thank you, mr. chairman. boeing aircraft, i been asked by number of constituents, when you fly the 737 max? i will say publicly, given the scrutiny a go i will fly it as soon as

hamil, let me ask you, when it says mcas lives in both fccs, what does that mean briefly. >> the mcas function is replicated in the two flight control computers on board the airplane so each flight control computer previously received its input from one aoa sensor on the left or right in the software changes going forward now both flight control computers received data from both sensors, compare it, only if they agree, they'll activate. >> thank you senator moran. >> thank you have you determined that the failures that resulted in tragic consequences, were they failures in policies and protocols that boeing had in place or was it a failure to comply with those protocols and policies that resulted in these consequences >> senator, in some cases we relied on long-standing industry standards, policies. we're now raising questions around those that gets back to the pilot response time discussion we had earlier. in some cases we missed on implementation, as i mentioned earlier with the angle of attack sensor overall we did follow the certification process and steps, but nonetheless, we lea

this poster is entitled, mcas. ofyou could provide a copy that, we will admit it into record without objection. says mcason, when it does live in both, what does that mean? mcas function is replicated in both computers. the computers -- and it was a data from -- now it will see data from both centers. >> was the failure and the policies and protocols that failuread in place or consequences? the >> in some cases, we've relied on these long-standing industry policies in standards and certified to those. that gets back to the pilot result wants time -- response time. overall, we did follow the certification process and steps, but nonetheless we learn to promote these accidents. >> they're both in policy and making sure the policies are once theyaking sure are in place. >> i assume there is other certification, developments that are always ongoing. have you changed your behavior pieces ofs for other equipment that boeing is now receiving towards certification? >> we are still learning. we mentioned earlier that it chan

and it expresses concerns about the operation of the mcas.knew about this instant message for months but failed to share it with the faa until recently with regard to the e-mails, again, mr. forkner, former max chief technical pilot, calls for removing any mention of the mcas flight control system from the flight crew operating manual he talks about jedi mind tricking of regulators, with at least one person who works for the faa. with regard to the instant message conversation, when were you made aware of the existence of the november 2016 messages? >> mr. chairman, as i recall, i was made aware of that message earlier this year, part of a document gathering process in response to a government investigation. >> so it was after the crashes, you were made aware of it this year >> sir, as i recall, i believe it was prior to the second crash earlier this year. >> was it your decision to wait months before disclosing this to the faa? >> mr. chairman, at that point, it had been identified as a document in response to an ongoing investigation and i

i want to touch on mcas and brazil. according to news reports when the brazilian civil national aviation came to the u.s. in 2017 to test out the max 8, they determined that changes made to the old 737 were significant enough that they needed much more information from boeing and were going to provide it for their pilots. when they eventually published their pilot training requirements, they were therefore able to flag the mcas as one of the changes the pilots needed to take into consideration when flying the max 8. and yet for united states pilots, mcas wasn't mentioned in their manual. so, mr. muilenburg, why was this information not flagged for your other customers who had 737 maxes in their fleet? did you prevent your company from sharing these differences to other regulatory bodies or operators? i have here the brazilian manual. they decided their pilots should learn this. why wouldn't you provide it to the united states pilots? >> senator, i can't comment on the details of the brazilian document. let me more broad

it seems mcas was not evaluated. you did not seem to agree with this mr. muilenburg they found mcas was not evaluated as a complete and integrated function that was to - - submitted to the faa. is that true? >> the mcas system was certified with the faa. >> as a completely integrated function? without ever having faa look at as complete and integrated? that is the important piece. >> i think with the report points out where we support further look that cross system integration so for example multiple failure mode analysis with road conditions that's an area we want to look more deeply. the mcas system certified to our standards how we do that analysis. >> it was a completely different system that is something faa should have required and been provided. but in my last few seconds i went to ask the 737 max will boeing require airlines to do similar training for all pilots quick. >> that is under the regulatory authorities. >> will boeing have to give money back to any airline if that's the case quick. >> congressman money doesn't factor into this decision. >

meant, i think john can answer that question. >> the mcas light, the intent was to signal an mcas failurent to note that the system did not fail. >> yes, it triggered. >> but the functionality of the mcas light, the reason it was deleted was because the functionality was incorporated into the light adjacent to that. >> thank you for that. when it was a relatively benign system, 0.6 degrees, it was in the manual. when it was repeated, it came out of the manual. is that correct? >> i have seen early versions of the manual that indicate that you had mcas in the manual. to take it out, and you took it out. >> if i could try to clarify, your question expanded to a couple of areas. mcas inclusion in the trading manual -- the training manual, that was a process that was in parallel to the extension low-speed operation, which i believe is what you are referring to. that was done an flight tested from around the middle of 2016 -- >> we understand that, and we understand some of the problems in the way it was tested and wasn't tested. that's good for now. assumption was reaction time. with the aoa

they are in the process of redoing the software for mcas. theoretically, when this goes through certification, you know that the faa regulators are going to go through this certification far differently than they did back in 2016 so theoretically, they're going to make sure more than 100% if at all possible that this software in the mcas system in the 737 max functions as it is supposed to function and that pilots are prepared for it in flight that's different than what this document and what david was talking about, which gets right to the heart of, you know, what he was saying. that boeing for a long time said, look, this is going to be in the background. pilots won't even notice it. when you have the chief technical pilot saying, you know, basically i lied to regulators unknowingly in an instant message to another employee i mean, that gets to the heart of what people have said for some time, which is, look, you misled people about mcas when it comes to the 737 max. >> david, also we have to talk about the timeline here. these messages ar

mcas played a central role in the crashes, pushing the nose down, causing pilots to lose control.nd faa staff had only limited experience and knowledge about key technical aspects of the plane. also faulted were assumptions made by the faa and boeing about how pilots would respond to an mcas failure. >> it is hard to see these two accidents happening without mcas. >> i think that's a -- that's a fair point. >> reporter: faa administrator steve dixon spoke to cbs news last month. >> we're looking at the overall certification protocols to see where there may be gaps or where those processes could be improved. and also if there were any flaws in execution. >> reporter: the max has been grounded since march. this week, united and american joined southwest in pulling the plane from flight schedules until at least january. american airlines' ceo doug parker -- what are you going to do to convince people that they're safe? >> we're going to have american airlines pilots fly those airplanes. what our customers know, if an american airlines pilot says it's safe, it's safe to fly. >> report

was not completely unaware of mcas, but because information and discussions about mcas were so fragmented delivered to disconnected groups within the process, it was difficult to recognize the impacts and the implications of this system. do you agree that the communication between boeing and the f.a.a. is fragmented to the point that relevant information on mcas was not provided to the agency? is this what you were referring to when you talked about getting the balance right? >> senator, i think you raised good points there. i think one of the areas we can improve, and we've seen it in the report and others, is system-wide integration, cross-system integration amongst the different technical expertise areas, and improvements in documentation and communication. and again, we found some areas where we could have, should have done better. we're making those changes. >> do you think this will improve communication with the f.a.a.? >> senator, i do. >> do you think the f.a.a. has a responsibility to also change its process to improve communication? >> senator, i believe the f.a.a. does, but i

mcas. remember mcas is the flight control system at the heart of the issues with the 737 max.cas is now active down to m2. it's running rampant inhe sim on me. the sim meaning the simulator. again they're in the process of workin the software for mcas. this is the development face. a couple of messages later. he writes the coworke l id to the regulator then he puts in parent these he is unknowingly. we reached out to the pilot for mark fort ner. davi gearinger asidesde said if u read the chat it's obvious there was no lie. the simulator was not reading right and had f to beed to flyly like the real plane markeace career at air force, boeing, was about safety he uld never put anyone in an unsafe plane. all of in couple weeks before dennis muilenburg, the ceo off boeing will testify in front of a senate committee and house committee on capitol hill. you can bet the messages and emails he will be asked about those. >>ut what the f.a.a. is upset about, phil is that boeing apparently uncovered the messages months ago. >> right. >> and only gave them to the f.a.a. yesterday. >> righ

this would not have happened if mcas had been built properly. there were other factors, certainly, that contribute to it, but mcas was the proximate cause. >> richard, thank you very much. some answers for those families still devastated, of course. jim? >> relevant questions for all of us. is it a safe plane to fly? >>> president trump is pulling u.s. troops from syria. only now we've learned several hundred personnel and tanks could be going right back in. another reversal? >>> and should the rich pay more taxes? the former ceo, one of the nation's most prominent banks told my colleague poppy harlow, yes. >> should i pay more tax? i sure as heck would be willing to pay more tax if i could buy a more -- a happier and less polarized society, for sure. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely. but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost. unfortunately, it can't d

the 737 max had a new flight control system, called mcas, which malfunctioned and pushed the nose ofpointed out today it was not in the pilots manual. those pilots never had a chance, these loved ones never had a chance, they were in flying coffins as a result of boeing deciding that it was going to conceal mcas from the pilots. and on the key question of whether the aircraft should have been grounded after the first crash, this. we have asked that question over and over, and... if we knew everything back then that we know now, we would have made a different decision. sammy was 2a when she boarded the flight from addis ababa in march. her mother nadia wants answers from boeing and its regulator, the faa. the only way to re—establish trust is to share information, and i are still guarding it. to allow scrutiny. and they are still guiding it. still grounded, the 737 max has been modified to make it safer and get it back in the air, but today boeing's reputation took a battering again. tom burridge, bbc news. boeing bosses were speaking before the senate and on wednesday they'll be gril

. >> they were in flying coffins as a result of boeing deciding that it was going to conceal mcas from the pilots. >> the premise that we would lie or conceal is just not consistent with our values. >> reporter: mcas, a system added to the 737 max, which misfired, repeatedly nosing down those two jets. >> you have now put into a system that overrides the pilot in command of that aircraft. you set those pilots up for failure. >> reporter: senators from both parties demanding to know if boeing intentionally concealed defects in the mcas system from the faa. >> so basically, i lied to the regulators -- unknowingly. >> reporter: that from a message between two test pilots in 2016 appear to suggest problems with the mcas, but the ceo says he didn't see those until earlier this year. >> you're the ceo. the buck stops with you. >> i would walk before i would get on a 737 max. >> reporter: also, for the first time, muilenburg met privately with those family members -- who seemed unsatisfied. >> he gave some flimsy excuses on why they did not ground the max after lion air. >> reporter: both rep

mca?he odds of her bringing it, obviously, there's going to be pressure on her now with the impeachment political circus clogging up the pipes, so maybe that pressure will build and the odds increase, but you know, this is something that shouldn't be this complicated. the votes are there both overwhelming number of votes in the republican caucus will pass mexico canada and you got to remember some of these districts that make their majority up are democratically held that are going to have to be held accountable if they say we couldn't even get a vote on mexico canada. so you don't have any doubt if this comes to the house floor you have very little doubt that it will pass? >> i guarantee you if it was given to the house floor as is right now, it would pass tomorrow. >> congressman it's jonathan ho enig. congress has responsible for oversight, but also legislation, and to steve's point, he's got trillions of dollars on the sidelines waiting for these trade deals to actually get put through

to the "new york times," eight months before these messages took place to remove reference to the mcas system, that questionable system, to remove that from the pilot's manual. so he obviously felt bad about that. he has consequently since or subsequently since said that he's invoking his fifth amendment right against self-incrimination as part of the doj investigation. so not good. you showed dennis muilenburg there just a short moment ago. he will be on capitol hill to answer some of this on october 29th. they've got earnings next wednesday, the 23rd. so they will have that as well to deal with. you talk about the stock. you mentioned it at the outset. itot as high as $439.96n february 28th. you see where it is right now. it's beginning to fall as we speak. lastly, i want to leave you this. boeing now has just -- boeing based here in chicago, has just now issued a statement pointing out that it brought those text messages to the attention of safety regulators and the faa on its own. so they are trumpeting that fact. in addition, they say we will continue to follow the direction of th

would we not be stronger in those negotiations than the us mca done? the only person holding that up is pelosi. when she brought the democrats to find out what they should write because they admitted finally they were wrong in the entire process and they still can't come up with an agreement of what theprocess is . this shows what a sham the waste of time this has been. this is before any court would have been a mistrial. people that are hurting are the american public and it's worth that's not being done in congress today.the funding of our troops, the funding of government, prescription drug prices and trade our strength to our economy . they would all get done if they only focus on it. this always reminds me they promised they would do this. they promised the american public would trust them . they would focus on the legislation in american care. and what does the record say? i have offered more subpoenas than laws that have been done. it's bad faith for this country let's open up our questions. >>: rats say they're moving forward. would you say the

it was as mcas was being put in their engineering simulator.have meant anything about the mcas system as it would actually function in the airplane, but perhaps problems with how you're going to program it into a simulator to train pilots. we just don't know the context but if, in fact, it was a lie, because this test pilot, forkner, also indicated that he made a request to have the mcas system's description removed from the manuals, if, in fact, it was a straight-up lie and they were -- and he was part of a plan to hide things, that's very, very bad, obviously. i've never, i've never heard of that in the aviation industry, involving transport aircraft that's why i think there's a lot more to this story that will provide some more context. but with regardless, it is disturbing >> yeah. i mean, and jeff, i suspect we'll probably be hearing more as the days go here. these messages coming out in the midof boeing and ceo dennis muilenburg getting ready to go to capitol hill and finally testify in front of lawmakers. which raises another question. w

of course, the mcas system is pointed in two fatal crashes in the last 12 months. former national transportation safety board chair james hall here on friday called it a criminal matter. >> it's a criminal matter, obviously. there's been a tremendous loss of life because that same mcas system went crazy on two other flights with passengers, not in the simulator, and on the civil aviation level, there needs to be fines and penalties. liz: kristina partsinevelos has been watching these late-breaking details in the newsroom and this could be a major turning point not just for boeing but for the ceo, dennis muilenburg. kristina: yeah, you have these negative headlines that continue, they keep pushing out the timeline. you just mentioned the european regulators that said the earliest they could possibly see the 737 max planes in the sky is january 2020. but then you also have southwest and air canada that have both said they are not planning on putting those planes back into service until at least february. so it seems like it keeps getting pushed down and that's part o

tremendous loss of life because that same mcas system went crazy on two other flights with passengersin the simulator. who in your opinion will be held accountable for what has happened? >> well, that's up to the justice officials, but at the end of the day, somebody needs to answer the question, who made the decision to only put one sensor on some of the aircraft while aircraft flying in the united states and other countries had two sensors feeding the mcas system? at the same time, boeing had set up a company to sell safety. they were selling the second sensor on the aircraft. that is what is written in the seattle times. you know, these are things that obviously money became more important than safety. that can't happen in aviation. liz: i'm going to get yelled at because we're run aring out of time. -- we're rung -- we're running out of time. i do have to ask you, boeing tried to blame the pilots. what do you think of that now? >> i think it was shameful. at the same time they didn't give the faa the information at the time myself and others were calling for the grounding of the a

where was mcas in the company? did they decide to let it go off a single sensor point of failure? who were the people in the chain of command. none of that was answered today. we got very, very few specifics. i hope we get more specifics tomorrow when they're in front of the house. cheryl: kathleen i talked to pilots who fly the max, who did fly the max when it was in the air. they do really fault the mcas system. the fact that boeing put that system in, software up grade. they had to do it because the way they redesigned the engines and the wings of the max. they didn't really educate pilots or really give a head's up, talking about southwest, american, in particular, that the system was even in place. that to me seems a big fault on boeing and the faa to be fair? >> well, that is the part that goes beyond the pale. even brazilian regulators, they were keen enough, they saw the mcas system and had their pilots understand it. pilots i spoke to in the industry were disappointed by today's presentation. they will have to be ones that determine the airplane is safe. they have to conv

how is that going to make it easier for pilots to override this mcas system?ink first they're going to identify more clearly how you override the system. under what circumstances do you use the cut off switches to scale the mcas system back or shut it down. secondly, they're going to lessen the authority of the m kamcass. pushed down, the nose to control of threat of stall. boeing's going to mitigate that and make it less demanding. >> you mentioned, planes are becoming more digitized, right? n more automated. looking at the investigation of the crash telling cnn this is a new type of accident since computer airplanes were introduced is this the new thing to be worried about? >> it is a new era we're in. these aircraft whether a boeing or airbus or extraordinarily complex. they're taking many of the old decisions out of the hands of the pilots, which makes it incumbent upon the pilots to really understand the computer systems that are driving their aircraft. so when something does go wrong they can diagnose it, take over and save their aircraft. >> so boeing i

those crashes in indonesia and now, an automated flight control and anti-stall system known as mcas isart of ongoing investigations. when the system was still being certified in 2016, the pilot messaged a second piying the system was difficult to control inlight simutions. in one message, he wrote: "granted, i suck at flying, but even this was egregious." boeing has insisted there were no serious problems during that certification period. but the head of f.a.a. wrote to boeing today, asking why the company had not told the government about these messages months ago. david shepardson of reuters broke this story and he joins ms now. welcome back to "newshour". >> thanks. at the time of theif ceation process in 2016, what role are the pilots supped to be playing. their job is to cojonvince the f.a.a. the system is safe under a variety of different simulations, tests, various flight patterns, and during this period, they uncovered, appears by the messes, more problems with the mcas system than they were aware. this system was designed toe address sue that bigger planes, more fuel efficient

mca may victory for american workers and american businesses which the trump administration to go to negotiated with canada and mexico but what speaker pelosi has blocked for months was 176,000 american jobs hanging in the ballot. we just need counterparts across the capital to get serious about this. >> the house of representatives continues to investigate the circumstances of the president's interaction with ukrainian president zelinski and whether he used the power of his office to pressure foreign leader to intervene in an american election on his behalf. this task was thrust upon them by the president's alleged conduct and the demands of our constitution and of our republic. here in the senate our job is even more austere, we are assigned power not only to examine the evidence but to render judgment. we all have a solemn duty to follow the facts impartially and let ourselves be governed by reason that role means we have a responsibility to behave impartially in a nonpartisan manner from the onset. as my friend and leader mcconnell said during the 1998 impeachment debate ", this

therefore, the faa could not adequately review the safety of mcas.also note the faa's difficulty in finding and hiring certification engineers who have enough knowledge of the aircraft which is becoming increasingly complex and automated. they say that, too, contributed to deficiencies in reviewing this plane. all in all, the panel made a dozen recommendations. renee marsh, cnn, washington. >> thank you. >>> here in the united states, there was a surprise announcement from the chief anchor at the fox news network. watch. >> this is my last newscast here. thank you for watching today and over the decades. as i travel to many of your communities and anchored this program, studio b and fox report, plus endless marathon hours of breaking news. it has been an honor and my pleasure. even in our currently polarized nation, it is my hope that the facts will win the day. that the truth will always matter. that journalism and journalists will thrive. >> the distinction between people who have a lot of opinions to share with you and journalists who report the n

boeing requested that the faa pullout information on the mcas. in our training manuals as well. these are things we will need answers to. let the sunshine in. that is what is going to help us move forward. ofhaad: there has been a lot this blamed on that software. mcas. there is that but have been people pointing to other things in this aircraft. some are calling for a rebuild because if is at fault, then appoint his mood -- a plane is made up of many parts. there can be more problems. we could be looking at years before this aircraft is in the sky again. dennis: great point. cap lummis to the faa. they found a problem that was addressed in this hearing with these flight control computers overloading. boeing was forced to provide a software fix for that. i think a complete review on the reason tos adjust make sure we go through this notraft with a dedication to the timeline but to getting it done right. whatever the conclusion is as far as pilots and across the globe. we have but one mission and that is to protect our passengers from all aggresso

fang motors is in this too talking about the ramifications because there is an american story in the mcausiness and a chinese story. will this current administration want to see these get into bed together >> true story. i think in 1980, my parents owned a peugeot diesel wagon for about three months on deck, the ncaa says college athletes can get paid but is it going to be a double edged sword? p but first, 12.4 billion is how much california wildfires cost in 2018 as two major wildfires continue to burn in southern california right now we'll go to jay gray with the latest on the devistaastating situation there. six steps ahead. sixteen. so many steps. you done? a million steps ahead. servicenow. works for you. i don't have to worry about that, do i? harmful bacteria lurk just below the gum line. crest gum detoxify, voted product of the year. it works below the gum line to neutralize harmful plaque bacteria and help reverse early gum damage. gum detoxify, from crest. i'm part of a community of problem solvers. we make ideas grow. from an everyday solution... to one that can take on a big

would that have made a difference in the mcas system? you've been doing this a long time what difference would it have made if we had not built on the previous half century of this plane's history and just started with a new plane would that have been better or worse? >> you know, the -- in part 21 of the federal regulations, it spells out the change product rule, which is how you assess for a derivative type certification. and it's a process that's in the usfa's regulations, also in european and other countries regulations. it requires you to look at all significant changes and step up. i think there's an assumption here that a derivative type cert is less robust than a new type cert i think when you look at a new type cert, you oftentimes have some exceptions or equivalent levels of safety similar to a derivative i'm not sure it would have resulted in a safer airplane it might have driven some different design decisions, though fundamentally one thing that happened in these two accidents was the assumption around how we expected crews

based on that we have enhanced mcas in three ways.ll now compare information from both sensors instead of one before activating. second, the mcas will only activate a single time. third, mcas will never provide more input than a pilot can counteract using the control column alone. pilots will continue to have the ability to override mcas at anytime. we brought the best of boeing to this effort. we spent over 100,000 engineering and test hours. we have flown more than 800 test flights. we conducted simulator sessions with 545 participants from 99 customers and 41 global regulators. i have phone on a couple of flights myself. this has taken longer than expected but we're committed to getting it right. during this process we worked closely with the faa and other regulators. we provided them documentation, had them fly the simulators, answered their questions and regulators around the world should rigorously scrutinize the max and only approve its return to flight when they are completely satisfied with its safety. the public deserves not

they were in flying coffins as a result of boeing deciding that it was going to conceal mcas from the senator, if i could try to respond to your question, first of all, the premise that we would lie or conceal isjust not premise that we would lie or conceal is just not consistent with our values. after the hearing, some family members of crushed rims met with dennis muilenburg privately. this was a meeting they set up themselves. they say boeing has never contacted their families. this was their message. in order for this do not happen again, we need to hit them where it hurts and i think it should be jail time but at the very least, economic. wednesday, dennis muilenburg faces another grilling from congress. boeing is hoping through these hearings the company can regain the public‘s trust. lawmakers and family members will be looking for a better explanation of what went wrong. india's prime minister says saudi arabia will invest in the country's oil and gas project in a strategic partnership. the comments come after 2— day visit to riyadh. what is narendra modi doing in the capital?
