The NTSB has published on its website a series of comments that Ethiopian authorities failed to include in their final report on the March 10, 2019, crash of an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8. The report from Ethiopia’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (EAIB), which the NTSB received on Tuesday, omitted comments—largely related to human factors—the Safety Board provided after reviewing a draft report last year.
After the EAIB reviewed the comments, it provided the NTSB with a revised draft report for its review. The Safety Board determined the revised report failed to sufficiently address its remarks. As outlined by the ICAO Annex 13 process, the NTSB provided the EAIB with more expansive and detailed statements. Instead of incorporating the most recent and expanded remarks into their report or appending them, however, the EAIB included a hyperlink in its final report to an earlier and now outdated version of the NTSB’s comments, according to the U.S. authority.
