The FAA has “reset” its relationship with Boeing and stripped away some of the latitude the Chicago-based aerospace giant and other manufacturers have enjoyed under the Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) program, FAA Administrator Steve Dickson reported to Congress on Thursday. However, during a House aviation subcommittee hearing on the FAA’s implementation of congressional mandates adopted in the aftermath of the Max crashes, Dickson also stressed that when implemented properly, ODA remains a useful and “a very powerful tool that enhances safety and allows us to leverage engineering expertise.”
