Write to Andy Pasztor at andy.pasztor@wsj.com and Andrew Tangel at Andrew.Tangel@wsj.com A series of pilot errors and maintenance mistakes are set to be detailed in the first formal, government finding of fault in the October fatal crash of a Boeing 737 Max jet, according to anonymous insiders. The Federal Aviation Administration on Monday grounded Boeing’s fleet of new single-aisle jets while it conducts an investigation into two crashes that have killed more than 100 people. Officials said the US National Transportation Safety Board, which has seen the draft report, had no problems. However, Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration are concerned it may disproportionately highlight design and certification errors.
