Boeing has reaffirmed the safety of its Angle of Attack (AOA MAX aircraft after criticism surrounding a defect which caused a crash. A Lion Air flight fell into the sea after taking off from Indonesia and was found by authorities to have received a wrong input from one of its sensors, likely from its automated flight control feature. Boeing has instructed its pilots how to respond to this occurring again, though the US Federal Aviation Administration is checking for a design flaw. The company said it spent adequate time testing the Angle of Attack (AOA Max and was certain it could handle any similar future issues.
