The button in question, he adds, is normally covered [with protection] and is not intended to be used while the pilot is in the seat.
Contacted in Chile by AFP, the Latam company refused to comment because an investigation is underway. From the beginning, we have worked with the authorities to clarify this matter.
Boeing also refused to comment on these press information.
For its part, the American Aviation Agency clarified that its Aviation Review Board #x27;corrective actions, composed of safety experts, would study the message sent by Boeing to the companies after the incident on Latam Flight 800.
This procedure consists of reviewing the service bulletin linked to the buttons on the pilots' seats, added the regulator, specifying that the message would be broadcast after advice from the Corrective Action Review Board and that it would continue to monitor the situation closely.
