Famous aircraft manufacturer Boeing could not solve the safety problems in some of its aircraft and requested that this be ignored and ‘exemption’ be provided. The details of this interesting request, which underlines the delicate balance between security principles and technological innovations in the civil aviation industry, amaze those who see it. Here are the details

Boeing requested exemption!

Recently, Boeing requested a special exemption from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) due to a safety issue in the 737 Max series. This issue, which was brought to the agenda after the engine casing of the new models of the 737 Max series overheated and negatively affected flight safety, drew attention to the company.

As part of this exemption request, the company requested that the applicable safety standards regarding overheating of the engine housing be ignored. Although activities have been carried out to solve the problem for a while, this request reveals that things are not quite right.

Possible negative effects of the overheating problem are as follows: This may cause parts of the engine casing to break off and damage the aircraft. Damaged aircraft parts also pose serious risks to flight safety, paving the way for accidents with loss of life. Therefore, this problem should not be ignored and should be prevented as soon as possible.

As an interim measure, Boeing advised pilots to use anti-icing systems at as limited intensity as possible in some conditions. Although this precaution is critical to prevent engine intakes from overheating, it is not sufficient.

The exemption requested by Boeing from the FAA calls into question the balance between technology and safety in the civil aviation industry. Shifting this balance in any direction could harm humanity in every sense. So, what do you think about this issue? You can share your opinions with us in the comments section.
