FAA chief upbeat after flying the Boeing 737 Max,
reiterates no firm timeline on approvals

The head of the Federal Aviation Administration was upbeat about
Boeing’s 737 Max after testing out the plane on Wednesday, the
latest turn in the process of getting the jetliners flying again after
two fatal crashes.

FAA Administrator Steve Dickson, a former commercial and military
pilot, last year said he wouldn’t clear the planes for service unless
he flew the jet himself.

“I liked what I saw,” Dickson told reporters, adding that he hasn’t flown
a 737 in almost 15 years. “I felt that the training prepared me to be
very comfortable.” He flew the 737 Max 7, the smallest model in the
family.

The FAA and other regulators’ review of the planes and the new
training that will need to be approved before the jets can return
to service are progressing. That could conclude in the coming
months, but Dickson reiterated that the agency has no firm
timeline.
