The way new discoveries keep popping up in the #737 #Max9 disaster at this point, the best solution might be for #Boeing to take each one completely apart and put it together again, but properly this time.

#Tagesschau: "Unbefristetes Flugverbot für Boeing 737 Max 9"

"Die US-Flugaufsichtsbehörde lässt die Boeing 737 Max 9 am Boden. 40 Flugzeuge dieses Typs müssten neu überprüft werden. Außerdem könnte sich die Sicherheitszertifizierung bei Neuzulassungen ändern."

Airlines decide how many passenger seats they want on a plane.
That’s why some feel more crowded than others.

The number of passengers an airplane can seat determines the number of ♦️emergency exits ♦️required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

In order to make airplanes more like assembly line cars and less like a handmade Rolls-Royce, #Boeing’s finance-first management introduced the #cutout in 2006 as part of the 737 MAX predecessor.

When an airline wanted maximum passenger capacity, Boeing made the cutout into an exit door.

Otherwise, Boeing replaced the cutout with a door plug.
The door plug, part of the fuselage, is a component of most 737 MAX 9 jets, according to ABC. They rotate “outward to 15 degrees as part of maintenance.”

In the U.S., only Alaska and United currently have the 737 MAX 9 in their fleet.
Because they chose not to cram us in like sardines, all have the door plug.

News stories have focused on four missing and loose bolts. However, Airways Magazine reports that the door plug is fastened with 12 stop pins as well as the four stop bolts.

On Friday’s Alaska flight, all 12 stop pins disengaged, “meaning all the stop pads became disengaged, fracturing the fittings and allowing the plug to blow out of the fuselage.”

How a panel blew off a #Boeing #plane in mid-air
A piece of #fuselage tore off the left side of an #AlaskaAirlines jet following takeoff, forcing pilots to turn back and land safely. The refrigerator-sized panel popped off a Boeing #737MAX9 during the ascent of an Alaska Airlines flight. Reuters illustrates what that panel is for, other #airlines with the same configuration, and where they travel.
