Original Title: Canada Approves Boeing 737 MAX Passenger Plane to Go Around Source: China News Service
The Canadian government issued an airworthiness instruction on the Boeing 737 MAX series on January 18 and decided to cancel the “no-fly order” on the aircraft on January 20.
The Department of Transportation Canada has made relevant modifications to the Boeing 737 MAX in the Airworthiness Directive. For example, it is required that the aircraft must install a new version of software for the flight control computer, calibrate its display system, and improve the wire layout of the horizontal stabilizer trim system.
Canadian officials have also issued temporary instructions to air operators, requesting additional training for crew members.

The Canadian Ministry of Transportation stated that it has spent more than 15,000 hours of review time for this model. The review is now officially over, and commercial flights of the aircraft in Canadian airspace can be resumed.
Canadian officials made the above decision exactly two months after the FAA approved the 737 MAX to fly again. The Canadian side stated that its airworthiness directive contains specific measures taken by Canada to further improve aircraft safety, rather than simply copying the US airworthiness directive.
In October 2018 and March 2019, two Boeing 737 MAX passenger planes in Indonesia and Ethiopia crashed successively, causing a total of 346 lives. After two air crashes, the aircraft was banned worldwide. When the Canadian official announced the ban on flying the aircraft in mid-March 2019, the country’s three airlines, Air Canada, WestJet and Sunwings, had a total of more than 40 Boeing 737 MAX series passenger aircraft.
