Canada accepted the FAA’s March 2017 certification of the Max under a deal where such approvals by the United States are accepted by Canada and vice versa.
“We may not change anything but we’ve decided it’s a good idea for us to review the validation of the type certificate that was given for the Max 8,” Garneau said.
Garneau added that Transport Canada would do its own certification of a software change being prepared by Boeing within the next few weeks “even if it’s certified by the FAA.”Citing people familiar with the inquiry, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that U.S. Department of Transportation officials were scrutinizing the FAA approval of Max jets and that a grand jury in Washington subpoenaed at least one person involved in developing the Max.
In addition, the Seattle Times reported that Boeing’s safety analysis of a new flight control system on Max jets, known as MCAS, had several crucial flaws, including understating the power of the system.
