Boeing has confirmed that it was aware of problems in its 737 Max aircraft a year before the model was involved in two separate fatal crashes. Specifically, Boeing was aware that the aircraft Angle of Attack (AOA) system had not been fully tested and certified by an independent third party after one of its planes experienced what appeared to be a stall or power loss on takeoff. The mistake was realised after deliveries had begun, according to Boeing, and it had planned to solve the error through a software update. It's highly unlikely. Boeing maintains that the problem did not “impact airplane safely or operation”.
