(Bloomberg) Tensions over how to characterize the findings of a probe into an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max crash two years ago have prompted U.S. investigators to consider taking the unusual step of issuing separate comments with their own conclusions, according to people familiar with the probe.
The Ethiopian Accident Investigation Bureau said Wednesday it plans to release a final report on the fatal crash of the Boeing Co. jet in the “near future” after lockdowns to contain the Covid-19 pandemic hampered the investigation.

The aircraft “crashed while returning to the Abuja Airport after reporting engine failure”, said Daramole. “First responders are at the scene. Sadly, all seven personnel on board died in the crash.”
The chief of the air force has ordered an investigation into the accident, Daramole said.

Pratt & Whitney is aiming to introduce redesigned bleed-valve ducts for Airbus A220 engines by the fourth quarter of this year, to eliminate a resonance phenomenon linked to a series of powerplant failures.
Four instances of PW1500G low-pressure compressor stage-one rotor separation, affecting A220-300s operated by Swiss and Air Baltic, occurred in the seven months between July 2019 and February 2020.
Engine parameters at the time of each failure, and the resulting damage, was “consistent” for all the events, says the US National Transportation Safety Board, which has completed an investigation into the first incident, involving a Swiss A220 (HB-JCM).
