the former chief engineer for ethiopian airlines filed a whistle-blower complaint alleging significant problems with the maintenance, training and record-keeping. he also alleges that the air carrier went into the maintenance records of the 737 and went into the maintenance records a day after the accident. and unfortunately, operational pressures and the lack of robust safety culture negatively impacted aviation safety and that's another layer of that model that i talked about. >> the ntsb has confirmed that along with certification, operational factors will be the focus of its accident investigations and in addition, along with its own max certification review, the department of transportation and their ig and their inspector general at the request of their committee's leadership will begin a review of the international training standards with the impact of automation which is another thing that i've talked about as a potential problem, but i want to be crystal clear in reviewing these areas that this is not an effort to blame the pilots and i don't absolve boeing of its responsibili

what day did the ethiopian airlines crash take place? >> there was march of -- >> march 10th 2019, before the simulator test, thank you mister chairman i yield back. >> i want a response to a previous question i believe mr. hamilton said that the faa was completely aware of the much enhanced mcas system but the fining of the jatr, -- the faa was completely not aware of mcas because the information discussions were so fragmented they were delivered to disconnected groups within the process, it was difficult to recognize the impact on the implications of this system. if the technical staff had been fully aware of the details of the mcas function the jatr team and an independent group believes the agency likely whatever acquired an issue paper for using the stabilizer in a way that it had not been previously used. efficacy use the stabilizer to change the field. this was a case of using it in a new way that the regulations never accounted for and should of required an issue paper for further analysis by the faa if an issue paper had been re
