Boeing to Restart B737MAX Production in December 2024

USA – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has confirmed that Boeing has not yet resumed production of 737 MAX airplanes following a machinists strike but plans to restart later this month. FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker recently visited Boeing’s Renton plant to review the company’s progress on workforce rebuilding and safety measures.

  • Production Status: Boeing’s 737 MAX production remains on hold after the machinists strike, with plans to restart later this month. The FAA has capped production at 38 aircraft per month due to safety concerns, and the timeline for lifting this cap remains unclear.
  • Safety Concerns: FAA Administrator Whitaker cited ongoing concerns about Boeing’s safety management system, emphasizing the need for a more proactive approach to hazard identification and resolution.
  • Engine De-Icing Issue: Boeing is addressing an engine de-icing issue delaying the certification of the 737 MAX 7, which is key to the company’s production goals.
  • Leadership Engagement: Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg expressed confidence in Boeing’s ability to resolve safety and regulatory issues, while Whitaker’s role at the FAA faces uncertainty amid the upcoming presidential administration transition.

Statement’s

  • “The thing that I was most struck by was we’re four weeks post-strike, and they’re still not producing airplanes because they’re focused on their workforce, the training, making sure they have the supply chain sorted out.” FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker stated during his visit.

ASTi Introduces Multi-Ownship Capability to Enhance Pilot Training Realism in SERA

ASTi added a new feature to its simulated air traffic control (ATC) environment (SATCE) to support training multiple pilots simultaneously. Due to customer requests, its Simulated Environment for Realistic ATC (SERA) product now supports “multi-ownship” training.

Before SERA, pilot trainees could only interact with ATC (e.g., ground, tower, approach) through the roles the instructor played during the training scenario. Then ASTi developed SERA, which filled the simulation with AI-enabled controllers, other aircraft and pilots with radios to fully flesh out the training environment. Students could see other aircraft, hear their radio calls and interact with AI controllers for the first time. But each human pilot trained in their own dedicated and unique “world” and in their own aircraft (i.e., the ownship).

Previously, to achieve realistic traffic density in the simulated environment, training centers coordinated “pattern parties” by connecting multiple simulators with other student pilots. Aside from being logistically challenging, this method also introduced the possibility that another student’s improper phraseology could negatively affect their peers’ training.

Now, however, SERA allows multiple human pilots to participate in the same bustling ATC environment together. They can see and communicate with each other as well as SERA’s ATC controllers. Trainees can join or leave at any time and interact with ATC simultaneously or independently, depending on where they are in the training mission. Trainee actions and reactions have repercussions on their human counterparts as SERA’s full ATC environment nimbly adjusts accordingly. This new capability boosts the training environment’s realism and allows instructors to introduce it to students at any time along their training journey.

This multi-ownship capability is just the next evolution in SERA’s accurate reconstruction of real-world pilot training, where everyone shares the same airspace. It simplifies distributed, multi-platform training and can reduce the hardware footprint for training centers and other simulation facilities.

About ASTi
Since 1989, ASTi has been at the vanguard of innovation for live and simulated training solutions. ASTi has fielded over 11,000 systems at more than 1,000 installation sites in 50 countries. ASTi’s capabilities include Radio-over-IP (RoIP) bridging; tactical system emulation; distributed, simulated voice communications; AI and speech-enabled, virtual role-players and simulated battlefield and cockpit sound environments.

The conversation covers:

  • Core Offering: MPS specializes in high-fidelity fixed-base simulators for single-aisle aircraft like the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. The company emphasizes “smarter simulators,” integrating advanced training options and using real aircraft components to ensure precision and safety.
  • Global Airline Partnerships: MPS has been expanding its airline customer base, with installations in countries like the U.S., U.K., Panama, and Canada. Notable partnerships include Frontier Airlines, Jet2, Copa Airlines, and Ryanair. This reflects a shift from ATO-focused sales to increasing collaboration with airlines.
  • Trends in Pilot Training: Erik highlighted that there is a growing emphasis on eco-friendly solutions, sustainability in production, and leveraging AI for enhanced simulation environments and objective performance reviews. Additionally, remote learning through VR and AR is becoming a significant trend.
  • Challenges in the Industry: Supply chain issues, high data package costs, and difficulty in finding skilled personnel—both for production and simulator operation—are major challenges. MPS mitigates these with innovative hiring practices, alternative supply options, and focusing on sustainable operations.
  • Future Outlook: Despite temporary slowdowns, long-term pilot demand is expected to rise significantly. MPS remains committed to high-quality FTDs, seeing them as a cost-efficient and effective training tool over full-flight simulators.
