GT's Radar Slams Ethiopian Crash Report
By Geoffrey Thomas Mon Feb 20, 2023
This week GT's Radar slams the Ethiopian crash report into March 2019 loss of a Boeing 737 MAX, which solely blames Boeing for the tragedy.
GT's Radar also highlights that the report ignores the fact the crew ignored basic procedures that would have recovered the plane both before - and after MCAS kicked in.

The report has been attacked by both the US NTSB and French BEA for its failings including leaving out critical cockpit voice recordings that would have allegedly shown the co-pilot overwhelmed well before MCAS kicked in.
About AirlineRatings.com
Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world.
Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations, as well as the airlines, own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate.
Over 360 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.
