A screw-like device found in the wreckage of the Boeing 737 Max that crashed last Sunday in Ethiopia indicates the plane was configured to dive, a piece of evidence that helped convince US regulators to ground the model, a person familiar with the investigation said late on Thursday night.

 

US Federal Aviation Administration chief Daniel Elwell on Wednesday cited unspecified evidence found at the crash scene as part of the justification for the agency to reverse course and temporarily halt flights of Boeing's largest selling aircraft.

Boeing fix could take weeks: US lawmakers

 

US lawmakers say they expect a fix in a matter of weeks to the problems that may have caused the second deadly crash of a Boeing 737 MAX in four months and grounded the plane worldwide.

Up until then, American regulators had held off as nation after nation had grounded the plane, Boeing's best-selling jet model.

 

The piece of evidence was a so-called jackscrew, used to set the trim that raises and lowers the plane's nose, according to the person, who requested anonymity to discuss the inquiry.

A preliminary review of the device and how it was configured at the time of the crash indicated that it was set to push down the nose, according to the person, who wasn't authorized to speak publicly about the investigation.

The jackscrew, combined with a newly obtained satellite flight track of the plane, convinced the FAA that there were similarities to the October 29 crash of the same Max model off the coast of Indonesia.

 

In the earlier accident, a safety feature on the Boeing aircraft was repeatedly trying to put the plane into a dive as a result of a malfunction.

 

All 157 people aboard Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 died early Sunday shortly after the plane took off.
